curragh sunday...

There has been a few poor renewals of the Tattersalls Gold Cup and todays has to be up there with the worst of them, as the prices suggests it looks a penalty kick, wouldn't surprise if the fav returned at 2/11?.
Camponoligist's well beaten 4th to Dandino suggests he might even struggle to fill the runner up birth, those group 1's he won in Germany and Italy are sometimes no stronger than an average Group 2 or Group 3 even?.

I think Famous Name will grab 2nd, probably only a group 2 performer at best these days?, but is in better form than Camponoligist, but should be remembered he was able to cut the mustard at Group 1 level as his very unlucky French Derby run proves and has other Group 1 places to his name in 2008 & 2009.
The other two runners don't deserve a mention.

I have a sneaky feeling for one in the 30 runner 6f cavalry charge, the horse was given a nice easy introduction at Naas recently and some of his best form would give him a very good chance today, beat recent Curragh winner Blue Dahlia comfortably last season, has been drawn slap bang in the middle in 15 so jockey will almost certainly tack on to the stand side group if they split?.
Bank on Black is the name of the horse and Keegan Latham rides so at the current 25/1 certainly worth an ew wager.
Of course with these big fields luck in running can sometimes be key, and also you/re taking the chance the horse is off?, interesting to see if there is any early market nibbles for him?. McCreery's are often backed when they are fancied.

2.10 Miss Eze e/w at 25/1 and will have some at Betfair sp too as twill be much bigger]


Started hitting form around this time last year in late May/early June

Down to a mark of 78 is very interesting for me in this - a winner at Galway last summer off 79

And also ran a stormer in a Premier Handicap here over CD in September off a 6lb higher mark of 84 when finishing a close 5th beaten just over 1l

At 25/1 e/w is definitely worth an e/w play for me here

How much rain did you get at the Curragh??

Would like ta know that too^^

- been floggin here all night and al morning!!

Absoutely pissed down but and i live a stone throw from the course but their is a strong win that looks to be coming from the west so blowing up the straight and has dried out my concrete patio. I say the ground will be perfect and have just taken the sting out of it. Altho cloudy over head

Ann Marie O Brien tweeted the ground is perfect

Backed at Powers 5 places

Spoils,365 and shybet also 5 places fwiw

lol @ VC

Welds in the 1st freely available at 9/4 and VC goin 6/5 [smiley:crazy]

Disgrace, probably leaving it at that price for most of the price taking small multiples like L 15's and Yankees, the majority of which are put on well before racing starts, fleecing the naive, unless they offer best price all multiples?.

Emiyna E/W in the 1000 guineas,looks progressive and can battle if need be,I hope Murtagh is a bit more positive today,he buried his mount in the 2000 yesterday.

I like Emiyna too and think she's a fair price now.

Also hoping for a good run from the Wachman fillies; Chrysanthemum and Sapphire Pendant

Think the 1000 looks a strong race actually. Could fire a few darts and still miss.

Roicead think he is really well handicapped if forward enough for 1st start of the year


should of put it up here too

Also backed Adilapour in the 2.40, step back up to 10f should be fine and hopefully be ridden more positevly like last time rather than how he was in the Ballysax

I am out today-my bloody feed is awful cutting in and out  anything interesting in the interviews with ryan moore,john magnier or david power??did they ask ryan moore to compare workforce??

some drift on Fosters Cross had to have a few €€€€€ on

gleeson was saying someone had 10kew @ 7 on misty for me beforehand.
