It’s yet another big win for Churchill as he stormed to take the Irish 2000 Guineas Saturday as a big 1/3 favorite.
Ridden by Ryan Moore, Churchill eased to the front with more than a furlong to go to win ahead of runner-up Thunder Show with Irishcorrespondent in third.
"He wasn't enjoying the ground so I tried to help him along," said Moore.
"But when I asked him he was there. I have always rated him."
With the victory, Churchill became only the ninth horse to complete the Newmarket/Curragh 2,000 Guineas double.
"He is very exciting and hopefully go for the St James's Palace Stakes," said O'Brien who now has a remarkable 70 victories in European classics.
"He would have no problem stepping up to 10 furlongs later in the year. He is so versatile and relaxed."
