Dermot Weld

wd TMM, pointed out Des has stayed here to ride Zuenoon in the opener at Killarney rather than go to York, which implies he thinks he has a good chance of winning, at 11/4 against a Lyons and O'Brien runner might not be your kind of play but I have for my sins been drawn to it like a moth to a flame....!

Cork, I think it's more a case of him not getting the call for the big races over here, for whatever reason, as was the case after the winning the Derby trial at Leopardstown.

Which is surprising as he's proving this season when he gets the chances he's more than capable.

Well done TMM

Cheers CL and thanks for pointing that out. I will have a go on that one. Good luck!

Thanks George.

Apologies TMM, looks like george has provided a viable alternative reason for his absence from York...!

No worries Cork. It looks to have a fair chance on form anyway. Good luck!

I'm not absolutely sure about today but it was definitely the case with their Epsom horse.

Whatever, it doesn't detract from their chance at Killarney.

Eziyra ran a cracker and for a second or three I thought it might win, then suddenly I thought it might fade out of the frame, but it then ran on again.

Fingers crossed it will at least show an interest in winning...!

Pulse of Shanghai may prove the biggest threat.

Think it just got up - it did! Well done Cork, thanks mate!

Well done cork. I listened to you and backed it to place.

Well done Cork, little fish are sweet.

wd guys a little bit uncooperative to my eye, but Des seemed determind thankfully...!
