Fairyhouse Weekend

Fabulous card. I've bet Quick Grabim in the Royal Bond but Commander In Fleet will be tough to crack. Heading to Newcastle for the Fighting Fifth so it's going to be a brilliant weekends racing.
 
Hope all yer horses have their wet suits, been some rain over here the last three or four days.

How long has this card been going with the 3 Grade 1 races Eddie? It really is the highlight before the Christmas meetings.
 
I first went there in 1986 when The Iliad won the handicap hurdle and Barrow line the Drinmore; .Holsten Pils sponsored that day after years of Benson and Hedges handicap hurdle won by Captain Christy and co and a 3 mile B and H handicap Chase which came between Troytown and Thyestes chases Nov and January.
Hattons Grace was first run in 1994 when Danoli beat Doran's Pride.
The Grading of NH races followed soon after if not by then Slim, but always (from 10years old) this was the best Irish NH day pre Christmas.
 
Some good names there edgt.

Remember Dorans Pride and Dunwoody beating See More Business & AP one year.

Some race that turned out to be. Wealth was a bit more evenly spread back then!

Thanks Eddie!
 
WPM on ATR saying Ruby went with Plan B without saying what Plan A was (drop him in presumably), wouldn't rule out further but if he performs like that at today's distance that's where he'll stay. Sounds like Christmas at Leopardstown will be the next outing "when we should find out more".
 
Impressive the way Delta Work got back up after the blunder at the last

That was a most enjoyable afternoon's racing. Apple's Jade was outstanding, the two handicaps were absorbing and there was some great jockeyship. But as Davy Russell said when talking about the novices on RTE, we haven't seen the biggest guns yet.
 
Highly impressive stuff from Apples Jade and I thought the Novice chase was well above average . I would bet on more than a few of them winning decent prizes in the future

Was a great day’s racing but hearing the full (including sponsor) name of the handicap chase called out mid race was comical. Surely there should be some sort of restriction on sponsor’s naming conventions.
 
Regarding the juveniles, Couer Sublime is highly thought of and was a very warm order today. Despite Cheif Justice giving him 7lbs he still won. As the season goes on, I think Chief Justice form line could prove to be right up there for the triumph. With that in mind I've had a nibble of Cracker Factor 33/1 and Quel Destin 25/1 for the triumph today.
