Blackbeard himself was cut to 16-1 by some firms for that race on the back of his own Group One success.“We’re very happy with him. He [Moore] always feels like has a little bit more but he was delighted with him. He’s a proper fast, early, mature two-year-old. He jumps and takes loads of racing,” the Irishman told media in Deauville.

“Blackbeard’s obviously very speed-orientated. He might get further but he has a lot of speed. Obviously, he would have to come back for the seven furlong Group One [Lagadere] or the Middle Park. All those races are options for him,” he added. Aesop’s Fables returned to action after his April debut and made light of the step up to seven furlongs to earn his own 2,000 Guineas quotes of as low as 14-1. It was a 15th Futurity for his trainer.
