Connections are predicting a bright future for the colt following his powerful half length win in the seven and a half furlong sprint following on from five previous Group placings.
Psychedelic Funk overcame heavy going to see off nine rivals and Shane Lyons,
assistant to his brother Ger, believes there will be better to come next
season."We're thrilled with that and he is a fine big horse who will be a real Stakes horse next year – albeit he is already a Stakes horse – but we are really looking forward to his four-year-old career.That's when he is going to come into his own," said Lyons.
"We were very worried about whether or not he'd handle the heavy ground and while he handled summer heavy last season, his heart got him through today.
"We always thought he was one of the best two-year-olds we've ever had and still think he's one of the best horses we've had. He has gone on that ground now and the G1 Lockinge Stakes in May could be a target."
The 85th stakes-winner for Choisir, Psychedelic Funk is the bets of three winners from Galileo mare Parabola.
Choisir stands at Coolmore this spring at a fee of $29,700.
