Derby weekend at the Curragh

[Gearoid]

Well done on getting the 9/2. When your spotting the value before they come for a horse for bundles you're doing a lot right.

 

[EC1]

I've had a bit on Choir -

the stats for Tough As Nail look poor for him wanting 6f..big drop off in strike rate..22% ay 5f down to 7% at 6f

 

[Gearoid]

I'm shocked you fell for Choir EC1. Surely it goes against everything you stand for?

it was a coin toss with winner..should have just laid tough

why does it go against everything?

 

[Colin Phillips]

O'Brien first and second in the first and then two flops in the second!?

No form in the book?

 

[Soary Stars]

No form for this race for Memphis Tennessee & Roderic really ...
MT is 13 & RO'C 36 on betfair.
It's all a gamble ... isn't it always?
I'd do the exacta with CH ....

i was banking on the AOB improvement

 

[sunybay]

EC

good ground today?
or softer?

Railway Stakes would suggest real Good ground...not easy side

 

[Soary Stars]

AO'B - what can you say?

 

[EC1]

thought seville had it..hope you were on TB Suny

 

[EC1]

hard to believe Frankel is 11L+ better than this

 

[Euronymous]

You can tell which one the feckers wanted to win. Very half hearted effort from Seville's jockey.

 

[Gearoid]

Well done Suny - You got the first and the last spot on :lol:

i'm amazed anything got to Seville with a lead going into that last furlong..would have thought had stamina in spades

 

[Sheikh]

Maybe TB will get a bit of respect now.

 

[Powerscourt]

Good for Colm O'Donoghue.. glad he was able to keep the ride on him after Epsom.

 

[Sheikh]

I better dust off my Mark of Esteem mare too,she might be getting married next year.

 

[gus]

It's hard to believe now that Carlton House is anything other than a smart but not quite top-class colt. He might be better at a shorter trip but he doesn't give the impression he'll be transformed by it.

 

[sunybay]

yes

another 123 for AOB,

the winner boosted Epsom and looks a good type for the Leger

 

[chroniclandlord]

Very much so, especially with Nathaniel's connections suggesting that he won't be going for it.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Good to see Seville show himself to be a better horse than his Epsom run would have indicated.

 

[clivex]

Will aftertime away but this was a cracking bet. More importantly this is a very nice horse who gets his head down and battles it out. Is he leger bound? i think he does need that sort of test

I thinkCH simply doesnt quite get this but agree with Gus. You dont get the sense that 10f will make him

 

[Powerscourt]

You can tell which one the feckers wanted to win. Very half hearted effort from Seville's jockey.

The Stewards subsequently suspended Seville's jockey Seamis Heffernan for two days for using his whip with excessive frequency and not allowing his mount sufficient time to respond.
