The Curragh’s Saturday card is being run on real Galileo (Ire) ground and his daughter Peaceful (Ire) relished the fast going to bring up a second fillies’ Classic in a week for Ballydoyle as she dominated the G1 Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas. The TDN Rising Star who was last seen finishing runner-up in Newmarket’s Listed Montrose Fillies’ S. was settled in a close-up second by Seamie Heffernan before edging ahead from the two pole. At the line, the 3-1 second favourite had almost two lengths to spare over the strong-closing Fancy Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), with So Wonderful (War Front) close behind in third giving Michael Tabor a one-two-three. Peaceful is Galileo’s 85th Group 1 winner; a new record for a stallion as he surpassed Danehill.
