Field of Gold gained rich compensation for his runner-up spot in the English 2000 Guineas earlier this month in winning the Irish edition at The Curragh in impressive style on Saturday.
Colin Keane, who replaced Kieran Shoemark after he was judged by trainer John Gosden to have ridden a poor race in the English Guineas, had few problems once he hit the front and the even money favourite coasted to victory by over three lengths.
Gosden -- who shares the licence with his son Thady -- was winning his second Irish 2000 Guineas, having won with Field of Gold's sire (father) Kingman in 2014.
However, it was missing out on his first ever win in the English 2000 Guineas that had riled the 74-year-old Englishman and resulted in Shoemark's demotion from Field of Gold.
For Gosden it was a sense of deja vu as Kingman too had finished second in the English 2000 Guineas, runner-up to the lightly-regarded Night of Thunder.
"It's a sense of relief more than anything," said Gosden, who has eyes on the St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot next month for Field of Gold.
"Like his father (Kingman) it didn't go quite right at Newmarket but it went right today.
"He's quickened up well and shown a lot of class.
"The second horse is a very good horse, the third horse is a Group One winner, so I think the form is incredibly solid.
"Colin said cantering down he was relaxed and there were no instructions, I just said ride him as you find him."
Winning owners Juddmonte had a 1-2 as Oisin Murphy on Cosmic Year, trained by Harry Charlton, came second.
Hotazhell saved home pride as the Jessica Harrington-trained runner, who by-passed the French Guineas, came third.
It was another disappointing Guineas for Aidan O'Brien, whose runners Officer and Expanded were never at the races and finished seventh and ninth respectively in the nine runner field.
