July 1 (UPI) -- The Coolmore "lads" clearly are not leprechauns, but the ownership team clearly has found its pot of gold -- at the Curragh and especially in the Irish Derby.
Coolmore dominated weekend doings at the Irish track, including trainer Aidan O'Brien's record-extending 16th victory in the Derby.
In the process, Coolmore has set itself up with a formidable team that can be expected to be competitive in most of the big races throughout the balance of the year.
In France, Sunday's Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud had a very international flavor.
