Benvenuto Cellini Redeems Himself

Benvenuto Cellini delivered a stunning redemption performance at the Curragh, storming to victory in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby after a controversial Epsom non-runner. Trainer Aidan O’Brien claimed his 18th Irish Derby title with a dominant one-two-three finish, as jockey Ryan Moore proved his call to ride the colt over Christmas Day was spot-on. Moore called the Epsom race a “mess,” but Benvenuto Cellini’s mile-and-a-half brilliance silenced doubters. With Christmas Day second and Pierre Bonnard third, O’Brien now eyes shorter races like the Champion Stakes for the colt’s next chapter — a future star reborn.
