Curragh

[Harbinger]

How's the ground looking at the moment? Usually pretty bottomless at this meeting; has the decent weather in the last few days affected it much?

looks like its time for my annual ' ill try harder with the flat this year'

Ground still officially soft but expect it to ride better than that come Sunday. Best ground you could hope for this time of year.

4.15 - Rock and Roll Kid

Reall like this one, any ideas of the price yet?

Has to be nearer yielding given the current spell of nice weather we've had.

Looks a weak enough card tbh, but I'm just glad to have the Flat back!

Interesting to note that not a single AP O'Brien entry to be found.

 

[Powerscourt]

O' Brien's horses will arrive after the last race.

Some nicely bred newcomers in the last race including a full brother to Refuse To Bend.

Exactly!!

Exactly!!

Also remember Dermot Weld's record at the Curragh!!

She'll be near odds on I would have thought.

 

[Guest_]

Yeats, Septimus, Frozen Fire etc all due to work after racing tomorrow as well.

 

[Guest_]

How nice of Weld to tip a 2/5 shot!!

I've spent longer looking at the form for the first race than I did for 99% of races through the winter!

Gone for a Lucky15 today gents,

Rock And Roll Kid
Croi Mo Ri

Mad About You

Any bets from you guys?

 

[betsmate]

Sharp two year old that...yard always have their horses looking the part. Grassicks horse is one to take out for the next day.

 

[Guest_]

Lovely performance from Zaralanta...looks a very nice filly indeed.

 

[Harbinger]

Oh dear... Mad About You looked like she was about to canter over them and found little.

 

[betsmate]

I backed Firey Red, thankfully win and place, thought I'd hit the jackpot though.

Booooooo after timer!!!

Favourite was really disappointing after travelling well.

 

[betsmate]

After timing would be to say that I backed the winner of the first and the Bolger horse to place in the second. No bet in the handicap.

Welcome back flat racing!

Word from the Curragh today is that Cluain Alainn is a very, very nice horse. Expected to win today and run a big race in the Derby. I had a few quid @ 66/1 EW for the Derby (Betfred restricted me to €13EW

)

It looks a good maiden. The joys of living near the Curragh is I am going to head to the racecourse shortly to see that one race and the gallops afterwards.

Is he entered at Epsom?

Yes

Rough race just there. Rock and Roll Kid travelled really well and had to barge his way through before only staying on for fourth.
