Criticism of the Irish Derby being run at the Curragh

The Curragh is a souless kip at the best of times

Indeed it is - Been told of people who demanded, and got, their money back after the Irish Guineas  meeting -

- with a promise that it would be much better at the Derby meeting - as they were buying four tickets for visitors from New Zealand.

Sold Out signs are up, so it won't worry them too much if they have to make a few refunds, majority will not utter a word of complaint

only an ars ehole would have asked for their money back after the guineas meeting

i was there - it was fine..obviously not ideal and they should have held it somewhere else.. but everyone knew that going in and they did a reasonable job in the circumstances

wish theyd do something about the traffic on the way out..

I'm a member and fully agree it should have been closed during redevelopment , when you have powerful people in control they always get their way.When its about making Stallions, and you can have the going exactly as you want it ,that in a nutshell  imo,is the reason why it remained open.

Why are all 5 classics held there anyway?
It doesn't happen in either the U.K. or FR.
Surely it is long past time for either 1 or 2 classics to be run at leopardstown?

In this part of the world you cannot have the going exactly as you want it, unless you want it soft or heavy every second week.
