2015 Derby and 2000 Guineas hope Ol' Man River enhanced his reputation by winning impressively at the Curragh.

I'd imagine this performance will very likely vault Ol' Man River to the top of the ante-post market for next seasons G1 Epsom Derby, if he wasn't already there anyway. He made this win look too easy. At a mile and maybe even at 10f, John F Kennedy may end up being the better prospect between them, but at 12f I suspect Ol' Man River will eventually over time end up proving to be the better prospect betweem the two, IMO.
