NEWMARKET trainer Charlie Appleby made it an historic three victories in all of this year’s 2,000 Guineas after Native Trial took the Irish classic at the Curragh on Saturday in the hands of William Buick.
Appleby had celebrated success in the English Guineas with Coroebus, the French classic with Modern Games and now made it a clean sweep when taking the Irish, all carrying the Godolphin silks.
Native Trial, runner-up to Coroebus in the Guineas at Newmarket, justified his cramped odds of 2-5 when proving too strong for New Energy with Imperial Fighter in third place.
