😲 Remarkable! TOWER OF LONDON comes from a mile back to win the Curragh Cup!

Tower Of London swooped in the final strides to snatch Group Two glory in the Comer Group International Curragh Cup.
The one-mile-six-furlong contest looked likely to be a battle between the 13-8 winner and 11-8 favourite Vauban, who finished fourth in the Gold Cup at Ascot last time.
However, it was Tower Of London’s fellow Aidan O’Brien inmate Grosvenor Square who set out to make all, building up a huge advantage in the hands of Gavin Ryan.
He still had plenty of daylight between him and the rest of the field turning for home, with Vauban’s attempt to run down Grosvenor Square quickly petering out.
Ryan’s mount was starting to tread water in the final furlong though, just as Tower Of London really engaged top gear for Ryan Moore, reeling in the leader in the final furlong to eventually prevail by a length and a quarter. Vauban was a further seven lengths back in third.

I worked in Racing from 1979 to 1985 and have watched racing regularly since. Ryan Moore is the best I have seen in my lifetime. He is a pure horseman. Also well done to Kevin Ryan with the interview. Another knowledgeable man

That was incredible... Another level of coolness from Ryan Moore, didn't panic at any point. Unreal

[@scottingram580]

Panic has never won a horse race

[@MichaelC3974]

Thats not actually true is it. Have seen many jockeys over the years realise they've left their run too late, panic then go flat to the boards, riding their arse off and manage to get up on the line. Of course there have been many that haven't got up

[@scottingram580]

@@MichaelC3974 panic upsets a horses mind and balance making it far more likely to pull up or duck out, calm encouragement beats that

[@MichaelC3974]

I've never seen a horse pull up when a jockey suddenly starts riding it flat to the boards. Not sure I've seen one duck out either but I understand what you're getting at Scott, better to do things gradually than suddenly

[@112sje]

These stayers' events on the flat produce so many great races, with drama and excitement, but we don't have enough of them. Commercial pressures mean we now have a multitude of group 1 races from five to ten furlongs but next to nothing for the poor old stayers. Stradivarius is only attracting moderate broodmares at stud. It makes you wonder where it all will end.

[@user-rv7nb9zi9b]

[@michaeldominici610]

Amazing race call. The announcer sounded sleepy and drunk for most of the race and then exploded with a burst of energy in the stretch!

[@kafaingai6646]

most people not really know Ballydoyle's tactics. The pace maker always push as hard as they can if the main horse can't keep up then the pace maker will try to steal the race at the front. Today this tactic nearly work again

[@padraigohooligan8363]

No jockey who has ever lived can judge a race to win like that! The winner only won because the leader finally ran out of steam, which allowed the fortunate Moore to catch it close to the line. It was certainly no masterful ride.

[@frankelforever14]

That's my take on it too. But it can't be an easy task for a jockey on the stables number 1 choice sitting so far back knowing that a Galileo is so far in front, the song should I stay or should I go is what comes to mind. Vauban continues to have major issues once he gets near the 2f marker, yet another disappointing finishing effort from the favourite.

[@jasonwealleans7850]

No worries at all. All under control 😉

[@frostedicepharoah7723]
