Irish Guineas Weekend

There is a steering job in the 2yo maiden on Sunday-allegedly.

There is a steering job in the 2yo maiden on Sunday-allegedly.

If the ground is good or better it's always a decent weekend for a punt

 

[SlimChance]

Steering jobs in the Curragh are hard to come by but I'm all ears!

 

[Miesque]

If it's an unraced filly she'll need the run

Races 2, 3, 4 and 5 on Saturday are my favourite sequence of races on the Irish calendar. Each to their own.

The Weld filly will win the maiden.

Or so I'm told.

The Weld filly will win the maiden.

Or so I'm told.

High praise indeed...

It's all Hall as punters make Parish preference

A HITHERTO confused market for Saturday's Abu Dhabi Irish 2,000 Guineas took on a considerably more opinionated look on Tuesday when punters backed Jim Bolger's Investec Derby aspirant Parish Hall into clear favouritism.

Bolger's audacious plan to claim Classics with the same colt on consecutive weekends will face its first test at the Curragh, where Dubai Dewhurst Stakes winner Parish Hall looks likely to start favourite after being supported into as short as 7-2 from a morning high of 6-1.

Boylesports and Bet365 both go a now best-priced 9-2 from 6-1 about Parish Hall, whose chief market rival, Qipco 2,000 Guineas third Hermival, can still be backed at 6-1 with Coral.

Backed Parish Hall each-way yesterday for both the Irish Guineas and the Derby.

 

[SteveM]

No - but I think she's an absolute good thing!!!

I'd strongly fancy Maybe for this if I thought they'd race her against the favourite. But with the Oaks imminent and coming from the same yard I'd expect Maybe not to take her chance.

NRNB for the latter at Boyles. Safer option.

Saw that but couldn't be bothered to open another account that I'd rarely use. The plan is firmly for both races but you're absolutely right of course.

 

[SlimChance]

6/1 win only in sterling and lose if a N/R for the men on the forum!

 

[Euronymous]

Looks like the Zach Johnson and French Fifteen near misses have emasculated me.

Trust me you will survive without a Boyles account.

If Maybe doesn't turn out, perhaps Prendergast's filly La Collina will be good enough on better going.

Worryingly for Maybe fans like myself La Collina franked her form with Maybe from last season in the 1000 Guineas. I don't think La Collina has been impressing with her home work but she's certainly not out of it. I'd want a price though.

[SteveM]

If she can run to her Phoenix form I reckon she'd take this. Prendergast seems keen on her on this better going. 9/1 to find out.

 

[Aragorn]

Whats the name of this steering job then?

 

[SlimChance]

If she can run to her Phoenix form I reckon she'd take this. Prendergast seems keen on her on this better going. 9/1 to find out.

9/1 is a good price.

Backed Parish Hall each-way yesterday for both the Irish Guineas and the Derby.

4 of us here at work lost our minerals antepost on Parish Hall in the Guineas. Time to re-coup those losses is here hopefully

 

[Bruce_Savage]

The form of the Dewhurst doesn't worry you?

 

[SlimChance]

The form of the Dewhurst doesn't worry you?

Show me a piece of form in this race that's better than the Dewhurst? I'll accept Wrote but he ran like a drain LTO. At 20/1 he's probably overpriced. The rest you can have.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Pat Smullen is to ride Born to Sea in the Irish Guineas, as Johnny Murtagh rides the Aga Khan's runner.

 

[Bruce_Savage]

Johnny Murtagh rides the Aga Khan's runner.

Interesting horse Chronicalandlord,

When you consider the effort Requesition put up on debut this year it's hard to imagine how he's not lined up in this field but Coolnagree has carried the form solidly in her own right and Takar put her on her backside comfortably! puts anyone off considering backing Nephrite including me!

Maybe it's Aga's horse who holds all the strings?

 

[SlimChance]

Some spare ride to pick up. I wonder which one Murtagh would rather ride.

If Maybe doesn't turn out, perhaps Prendergast's filly La Collina will be good enough on better going.

Is Homecoming Queen declared a non runner?
