"lads" will be all there today big pay day. (ok what about the entrance fee doesn't matter) other owners haven't got chance. Still A.P O'BRIEN AS LONG AS HE TRAINS RACE HORSES NEVER COME CLOSE TO THE BEST IRISH TRAINER EVER. I WANT NAME HIM IT WOULD BE AN EMBARRASSMENT

A pointless race and a waste of time. I think IHRB should have this race run in the backyard of Ballydoyle to save on travelling expenses and time.
It's high time this race is downgraded in my opinion. |

It's a bad look, nothing from Britain or France - the youth of Ireland will turn away from the sport
Are Juddmonte happy to be associated with this tainted classic? It's dropping down to the level of Irish St Leger |

The 2.35 at Curragh is an even more egregious example of what is wrong with Irish racing. An abysmal example of a Group 2 contest.

Seems a distinct lack of foreign challengers , need to be a bit more ambitious for those pots on offer really but i guess if you're deemed not good enough may as well stay in your box.

The shortie had a pacemaker and a good position yet did not win like a 2/11 shot. I'm not denigrating the winner just the "professional" journos at the Racing Post eulogising her ability post winning at Epsom.

Moore just nudged her home. You were probably more stressed watching it than the horse was winning it.

To think that a horse that has won 1 from 7 beaten 5+ L over 1m 6f last time now has G1 black type - the second didn’t hit the first 3 at Epsom either!
Good job Whirl wasn’t there?!? |

AOB and Coolmore win many big races year in, year out. However, I find it a difficult task remembering the names of the winners even those that won the Derby and Oaks. I can still remember Golden Horn and Enable, but none from AOB and Coolmore though.

No need to panic impossible it's just an age thing of remembering nostalgia but difficulty remembering what you had for breakfast , happens to us all

So do I. I do however remember how brilliant they are at a). Getting the horses, b). Rearing them and c). Training them to perfection to win the big events, time after time after time. And every owner and trainer has the same chances as they do.
They’re just nothing like as good at it. |

I'd agree if it was on most daily stuff eg birthdays; shopping; month or day; etc. But, I'm having more time for horseracing yet the names of their Classic winners escaped me post the events. Maybe I might remember Lambourn as it's the name of a horseracing town.
I can still remember Kyprios and Order Of St George but I cannot remember their Classic winners eg Turpentine and Wing and A Prayer. |

Don’t worry Impossible they have so many winners and not ALL of them are exceptional, it’s easy to forget the names.
They are also the BEST at putting people away Honcho. Anyone who makes fun and takes pleasure out of someone who is perhaps loosing their memory is a COMPLETE SCROTE HAYDEN. Now go rim another ahole you forgetful wimp, because you too forgot that we all get old! |

An alternative race view of today’s G1 in Ireland
Minnie Hauk (3 years old) will have had to work until the end, but she imposed herself as a class filly doing the minimum... Frankel’s daughter brought a new classic success to her entourage, winning by a good length the Irish Oaks (Gr. I) in front of Wemightakedlongway, a few weeks after her triumph in the English equivalent (Epsom Oaks), silver-crushed at the score of 2 for 11, under the grip of Ryan Moore. Certainly, the overall quality of the prize was not that of a group I (rather than a group III), but the style of the winner’s victory pleased the bookmakers who did not change her odds in view of the Yorkshire Oaks (at 2/1) and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (at 10/1). Minnie Hauk imitates Alexandrova (2006) and Snowfall (2021), also coached by Aidan O'Brien and who had achieved the Epsom Oaks/Irish Oaks double in their time. Finally, the name 'O'Brien' is in the first five places, with Joseph, son of Aidan, who sold the second... |

429th group for Aidan O'Brien
This number gives a dizziness and it is even difficult to realize the extent of the exploits of Aidan O'Brien, the most successful director in the history of racing... He has indeed removed the 429th group I of his career (since 1993) in only about thirty years. Ballydoyle’s virtuoso is well on his way to an exceptional year 2025, already counting 11 victories at the highest level, with Henri Matisse (Poule d'Essai des Poulains), Los Angeles (Tattersalls Gold Cup), Lake Victoria (Irish 1000 Guineas), Camille Pissarro (Prix du Jockey-Club), Jan Brueghel (Coronation Cup), the aforementioned Minnie Hauk (2), Lambourn (Epsom and Irish Derby), Whirl (Pretty Polly Stakes), and Delacroix (Eclipse Stakes). But there’s Group 1’s and then there’s Group 1’s in only but name. Still remarkable. |

Any sign of an apology to Hayden,Dela?

If its so weak every trainer in Europe is welcome to come over and pick it up off the turf. They have a stranglehold on game. Simple as that really.

It’s why they never won a Group 1 @ Ascot this year? Maybe I’m mistaken?
