Glor Na Mara
Defining Year - Looks useful
Sing Softly - don't like the form of her win. Had the best of the draw and given a positive ride. Beat nothing.
Tell The Wind - Useless
Triple Eight - A hound
Imperial Rome - Useless
Deire Na Sli - Form ties in with Alyir (useless. Useless

Glor Na Mora can't find a way too lose here. A very soft listed race. Anything over 1/2 would be a steal. Defining Year for the F/C

Woof woof!

I presume you will have a go at Sing Softly tomorrow?

Possibly. I`ll have a closer look later. Big ask and I would have preferred a longer break. 
Obviously Glor Na Mara should be capable of beating her and the rest, but will he?

I couldn't back a maiden that has been beaten 5 times at the track at odds on in a listed race.The buzz surrounding Frankel should make him artificially short.A lay for me -if he wins he wins but I have to be against him.

Sing Softly for me gents

You should be able to get on at 1/2 or bigger!

Glor Na Mara the most likely winner but at 2.2 on here a def lay for me. Has yet to win a race . Best runs have been in defeat in Group 1's. When given a penalty kick in a Group 3 at this course last season was beaten by a handicapper Dingle View a 22/1 shot. Only really poor run last season was on soft ground which is likely again today.

What about the reurn of Santa Claus gaf today?
Fascinating animal this year. Looking like he`s being aimed at the Tattersalls. Hope he wins well to give us something to look forward to.

Quiz.
Who was the last 3yo to win the Gladness?

he's lost a leg by the way the bettings going....

morning glory ?

LOL let that me the last time you ever ever take exception to anything johnny ward right...that's the worst call since the captain of the titanic said full steam ahead and fcuk the iceberg

*writes

can't watch atm but I assume this woof woof got turned over again, he'd run second to anything, I'd say hes his mind on other things, more interested in running into the back of Dingle view and mounting her last season He's ready for a mans job, some stud better stand him, hes loads of ability

I don't work for the Racing Post
I don't claim to be an expert
I called the race wrong but I've said on another thread why I would be against Sing Softly in a listed race. I'm happy to have been proved wrong, completely wrong.
I'm surprised you could not have posted before the race that I had made a bad call because the drift told you all you need to know about Glor Na Mora.

Too bad to be true even allowing for temperament,ran like a sick horse.

manning has picked the wrong one twice today ....

or has he?

This thing was 3rd to Frankel on his previous run - last today. Doesn't say a lot.

Beautiful filly

well done sof...

3 horses to take out of yesterday.
# Very impressed with Sing Softly. Cleared away from the stand side group. Likely pattern class over further.
# Adilapour. Plenty of scope and should win a nice prize over further.
# And I`ll be amazed if that is as good as Claoimh Solais is.   
Photo Opportunity didn`t go on the ground as expected.

Ahem!

You should have backed her today after forming that opinion Giant Strides.
It seems you were on the fence so bad luck.
It did at least stop you punting the disappointing Bolger horse.

Nice one Giant

Indeed I should have.
Tell me, do you just turn up on this forum to have a hack at me?
People put up selections here for many meetings. Who`s to know if they actually back all of them?
I`m just pointing out that I noticed her potential last day.
I`m not as big a mug as you obviously think I am.

Cheers sof.
Hope you cleaned up. Top ride from CoD.

I am saying well done to you for your race reviewing the last day.
I will watch Adilapour with interest.

That`s not how it read, but thank you.

I am so glad the flat is back!

On another bright day at the Curragh a very good crowd were rewarded with good competitive racing. Honours even between the punters and the bookies.

Race 1) Gold Lace (3/1). This well backed winner was in the van all the way eventually getting home from the flattering placed horses. Raphael Santi the 11/4 jolly will come on for the run.

Race 2) Sing Softly (7/2) Steady in the market this one was always going well to beat the well backed fav Defining Year (7/4f)

Race 3) West Coast Dream (4/1f) A winner on the opening day Ben Curtis had this one to the fore and went for home over a furlong out to beat the staying on runner up Notgonnagiveup.

Race 4) Lolly For Dolly (9/2) Steady in the market this one showed his lightening turn of foot to come from the back and nailed English challenger The Cheka in the shadow of the post. Pre race observations suggested the jolly Regal Parade (9/4) would need a run were well founded as he never was going well enough to mount a challenge.

Race 5) Unaccompanied (4/1) This Cheltenham runner up has improved out of all recognition from his 3 year old career and really put it up to the long odds on jolly St Nicholas Abbey (4/11) who was never really going. What the opening five races showed us was that a fitness advantage really counts for a lot in testing conditions.

Race 6) Marksmanship (100/30) This one was backed from 6/1 into his returned sp. Under a masterful ride from young Joseph who was the only one to cover the break of the two front runners he got first run on his rivals. He won well from the running on placed horses. More will be heard about him. Chronicle set the ring alight as they backed this one all around the ring.

Race 7) Samain (6/4f) The unbeaten Gigginstown House gelding won in very good style from the game front runner Shadow Eile.

Race 8) Torphichen (6/1) with the 3/1 jolly being withdrawn at the start the way was left clear for Eddie O'Grady's top class NH perforfer to annihilate his rivals to bring up the double for Fran Berry.

I`m beginning to think you don`t like fillies soapp.
Lolly For DOLLY

I hope Tradefair filled his boots with the 15/8.

Unaccompanied also a filly Soapp but back to Glor na Mara ungenuine and not trained on in my opinion this was already well flagged by Satellite Flight and Santry.It would do you no harm to follow these two gentlemen if you want further confirmation look up Moneypennys tipster competition,a real eye opener.

that was t bad to be true sunday wildman ... would need to cut this fellow if they want to win races ...he's turned sour imo..having said that he is only a talking horse and has shown very little in his races....most probably a morning glory...

Great write up soapp,I was very taken with Samain,good pace throughout and quickened up a second time on bad ground ,good ride from PW Mullins who has been shipping some amount of stick lately.

WR,
Glor Na Mara has "shown very little in his races"?? Really?! Nothing wrong with being placed in the two best Group 1's run all last season. Mad statement. He shaped like a sick horse, as he did on his debut last season.

paddywhacker ..thats all very fine , both very small fields , i was at the curragh the day he made his debut ...the rumour was this was the 2nd coming ...so in my book he's still got plenty to prove... please note , i did say the run last day was to bad to be true ...if it turns out he was a sick horse then i'd have to change my opinion of his run on  sunday... it remains to be seen what comes to light ...

It doesn't matter if they were small fields or not, the form is rock solid.

if it is thats fine .. but what has this lad done to enhance it ...?

Good to see Mr Oxx took my advice and is stepping Adiliapour up in trip and class.
Claoimh Solais out too. Egg on my face or money in my pocket.
Stay tuned.

a big ask i have to say giant ..its a little different when a horse is winning top class h/caps and then progresses to listed an finally group...with all due respects its hard to go from ordinary h/caps plus he was beaten in one , too winning a group 3       in one fell swoop ..having said that oxx would not be asking such a big question if he felt the horse was not up to it ..so roll on 15.45 when all shall be reveled...

Surprised you didn`t go wr.
Fwiw I agree. But he is getting 5lbs off Recital and he should improve on the ground too. I think he`s better than he`s shown and he`ll get involved.
Off out. Enjoy!

a bridge to far giant ...back to h/capping with this fellow...

Indeed wr. Oh dear!
Unlike Oxx to get it so badly wrong tbh.
Maybe the better ground was not his preference.
I did end up laying Recital however but gave it all back and some with Quest for Peace. Ouch.
