After finishing second on his debut at Leopardstown, Orchestra went one place better this evening, taking the Camas Park Stud EBF 2yo Maiden in convincing fashion.
Trained by Aidan O’Brien and ridden by Joseph, the son of Galileo was no match for the exciting Free Eagle, at Leopardstown last week, going down by five and a half lengths.
He was sent off the 4/11 favourite to get it right this evening, and he hit the front over a furlong out, keeping on well from there to score by two lengths. Lungarno Palace made it a one-two for Ballydoyle, the newcomer finishing second under Seamie Heffernan at 12/1, while Hurricane Volta was half a length back in third at 25/1 under Wayne Lordan for David Wachman.
Joseph O’Brien said afterwards: "He is a nice big horse and the nicer ground after Leopardstown suited him."
The winner holds an entry in both the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster in October, and next year's Epsom Derby.
