爱尔兰两千坚尼大赛是一场途程1600米的一级赛,在克拉赛马场举行。列阵该赛的赛驹共8匹,「罗萨利昂」 在肖恩·利维的策骑下早段留守后方,末段凭借韧劲艰难追了上来。过终点之时,它仅领先了0.2个马位。

在该赛中给「罗萨利昂」造成了最大威胁的赛驹是它的厩侣「仇恨」,后者沿途位居第三,剩1弗隆半要跑的时候冲到了最前面,之后一直保持走势,差点让大热门「罗萨利昂」屈居亚军。

赛前赌市的预期与最后的结果基本相符,最受看好的几匹赛驹都跑入了三甲,只不过次热门「台伯河」最终是获得了季军。

小理查德·汉农的父亲老理查德·汉农曾三次胜出过爱尔兰两千坚尼大赛。对于自己可以在另一项成就上追随父亲的步伐,小理查德·汉农倍感高兴。

对于此次的功臣「罗萨利昂」,汉农自然是赞誉有加。但是,他也特别夸奖了亚军「仇恨」,称「仇恨」是一匹非常勇敢的赛驹,跑得非常出色,最终未能夺冠或许对它有点不公平,但是属于它的日子会到来的。

接下来,「罗萨利昂」的目标将会是皇家阿斯科特赛马节的圣詹姆斯宫锦标赛,在那场一级赛的 Paddy Power 赌市之中,该驹的夺冠赔率已经从3/1下调到了7/4。

虽然「罗萨利昂」和「仇恨」的三岁赛季才刚刚开始,但是汉农已经表示,他很乐意相信马主会同意让它们明年都继续服役。
