IT was a weekend for front-runners at the Curragh’s Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival.

On Saturday, we saw Unquestionable and Art Power make all on their way to the Curragh winner’s enclosure, while Paddington closely tracked the pace-setting Hi Royal in his Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas strike.
