Charlie Appleby becomes first trainer to saddle winners of the French, English and Irish 2000 Guineas in the same season

Native Trail won the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas on Saturday. Charlie Appleby is the first trainer to saddle winners of the French, English and Irish Guines in the same season. Native Trail was a leading two-year-old foal and has built on that. He was sent off as a long-shot favourite. He didn't manage to get himself into the ideal position from stalls, but he had the ability to travel up behind the leaders in straight. New Energy looked a serious threat when delivered with a run from off the pace, as did Imperial Fighter. But Native trail was striding as well at the line as at any point of race.
