First Black Type Winner For Study Of Man As Deepone Dominates The Beresford

Bouncing out of Leopardstown's G2 Champions Juvenile S. earlier this month, Vimal Khosla's Deepone (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}–Avyanna {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) dominated Saturday's G2 Alan Smurfit Memorial Beresford S. at The Curragh. Fourth last time, the Paddy Twomey-trained 3-1 joint-second favourite soon had control on the front end under Billy Lee and never looked like being reeled in as he secured a 1 3/4-length defeat of Chief Little Rock (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who was a short head in front of fellow Ballydoyle runner Grosvenor Square (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third. The win was the first at black-type level for Deep Impact's first-crop sire Study Of Man and Twomey revealed that Deepone may attempt to emulate him by winning next year's G1 Prix du Jockey Club. “I see him as a French Derby type, I think he'll stay and he's probably more of a mile-and-a-quarter horse,” he said. “Things didn't go right last time and we had the highest-rated horse and decided to ride him like that and if they were good enough they would come and beat us. He has learned on the job and Billy said if something had come to him he'd have gone again.”
