Slightly slow — minor pace variance, nothing to read into.
“Set the pace throughout - challenged after 3f but always going well - went clear 2f out - ridden to assert 1f out - stayed on powerfully - taking winner”

Alpha (IRE) won the 13:10 Curragh at SP 1.73. Ridden by Ryan Moore. Trained by A P O'Brien.
Yes — the AI top-rated horse, Alpha, won the race (AI score 36.6).
Top finishers: 1. Alpha (IRE) (1.73), 2. Ibelieveicanfly (USA) (6.00), 3. Livenka (GB) (3.50).
The winning time was 1m 23.91s, 0.81s slower than standard.
Alpha is an exceptional prospect — by Sea The Stars out of Group 1 winner Alpha Centauri — and her debut second at Leopardstown, where she came home strongly after missing the break, was a most encouraging start; she is bred to progress significantly with racing experience and looks well placed to go one better here. Ibelieveicanfly finished a couple of places behind her on debut in a competitive Leopardstown maiden and is the most significant danger, while Livenka flew home at Naas on her sole start — a half-sister to a Group 1-winning juvenile from a leading stable — and should improve with that experience behind her. Alpha is our selection.
