O'Brien serves an ace with Flushing Meadows at the Curragh
The son of Wootton Bassett was sent off at 5-2 in the hands of Ryan Moore and made it game, set and match with ease in the Irish EBF Maiden, surging to an impressive length-and-a-half success in the six-furlong event. A Royal Ascot tilt may come too soon for the exciting two-year-old, but O'Brien has his eye on a return to Irish racing HQ for Group Two action later this month. Flushing Meadows (Wootton Bassett x Hence) strikes on debut as yet another exciting two-year-old scores this term for Ryan Moore and Aidan O'Brien @curraghrace — Racing TV (@RacingTV) June 4, 2025 'I'm delighted with him, he's a lovely horse,' said O'Brien. 'He was never away and he'll come forward loads. He'll have no problem getting seven furlongs. 'The reason those horses were here was in case they were Ascot horses. Ryan said he's lovely, but that Ascot might be a little bit too quick for him and to give him a little bit of time. 'He doesn't have to step up in trip and he might come back here for the Railway Stakes.' Flushing Meadows was bringing up a double for the Ballydoyle team after Moore got a fine tune from Amadeus Mozart in the opening Sky Bet For The Fans Irish EBF Maiden Another son of Wootton Bassett, he was the well-backed 10-11 favourite for his racecourse bow and although asked to knuckle down before two furlongs out, responded to his rider's encouragement to get the better of also-promising stablemate Dorset by half a length. It is a race O'Brien has won with Lope Y Fernandez (2019) and Point Lonsdale (2021) in the past and the leading players could prove key members for the Ballydoyle team in the future. O'Brien said: 'They are lovely big horses, they were never away so they are going to come forward plenty. 'Ryan liked him (the winner). He said he was a lovely horse and he wouldn't mind stepping up. 'He'll be a lovely horse next year, he's a very big horse. He was very green.'
