Workrider there might be good drying weather today but tomorrows forecast is suppose to be horrendous, didn't they take Darwin out at Leopardstown because of the changing ground conditions?.

If you fancy toolmore to win the national stakes you must be all over the Godolphin horse in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster today workrider, he got pretty close to him. hannon seems to be getting more staying 2yo types in the last season or two, interesting development. Hughes wasn't hard on Toolmore at Goodwood and I was very impressed.
|
|
By:
Will be Neill d...Hannon has a line to it though with his runner who has progressed nicely ....
|
|
By:
Hannons now n/r at donny...
|
|
By:
Backed it neill d but drift a big worry....
|
|
By:
Impressive ....
|
|
By:
yep no surprise there, on't think starting prices mean as much with Godolphin personally.
|
|
By:
Good shout lads.
Thought Cape of Approval got a very easy ride there in the 2.25 |
|
By:
spot on pa. i backed cape of approval. very tenderly ridden.
|
|
By:
Yeah Mitch think he,d have won if he made any effort,know it was a g3 but weak beforehand,back from bit of a layoff and in theory wanted a bit softer. Really thought watching it twas just a gentle introduction back.
|
|
By:
His one in the next got an interesting ride last time out as well Mitch.
|
|
By:
No effort made on Cape Of Approval today,jockey pulled it in behind Balomont Mast at the furlong pole for no real reason and with any type of a ride at all could have nearly won today.
|
|
By:
Only beaten about a length today even though finished 6th.
|
|
By:
Spotted that myself, a bit of strange ride, Lee had clear daylight but for some reason pulled in behind Balmont Mast for a few strides before pulling back out again.
Everyman and his dog spotted it so will be priced up accordingly next time. |
|
By:
Surprised Johnny didn't ride that at donny today....
|
|
By:
Eddie and all his crew were wearing shades there
![]() |
|
By:
never spotted that pa was checking my football bets.
|
|
By:
he had a job pulling up cape of approval after line too. seemed well ahead. 39k there for the taking.
|
|
By:
Seems to be a catching trend with successful trainers,must watch out for it a bit more in future,I,d like to patent that one btw. Straight out they were Silver.
|
|
By:
Thats why....

|
By:
No more chances for her ...
|
|
By:
He wasn't staying at home for nothing today,surely could have had a few decent rides at Doncaster but unfortunately I didn't take the hint either.
He has made quite a start at the training and fair dues to him but not many have the financial power of Stobart behind them starting off. |
|
By:
Thats why he wasn,t WR.
Eddie is at the Curragh Silver so it was only his crew with the shades. C O A hadn,t a race there up after the line,looked a fresh horse. |
|
By:
Anyone fairly local know if much rain fell overnight please?
|
|
By:
Pa if there was any rain last night then it must have been very minimal as my drive way was bone dry this morning, there is a very healthy wind out there at the moment and some dark clouds so I'd say the rain is not far away but that breeze would've dried the track up even more.
|
|
By:
Actually as I typed the rain has just started to fall pretty light at the moment.
|
|
By:
Thanks very much Silver,know they were saying the North and West were going to get the brunt of it, hardly likely to make much difference now.
|
|
By:
According to Met Eireann the skies will clear with some heavy showers that should pass over quickly so it looks like the ground will be fine.
|
|
By:
There has been a steady drizzle since around 9.30am no major downpour as yet but the fresh breeze is still there.
|
|
By:
The rain is just after getting a little bit heavier there now.
|
|
By:
Thanks again SG, hardly be soft enough by race time for Voleuse de Coers,thought she had a good place chance at least if it deteriorated despite Smullen on the other Weld horse.
|
|
By:
Its stopped raining with the skies looking slightly brighter.
Unless it literally pours out of the heavens from now until the race I can't see the ground been any worse than good pa. I can see a huge improvement from Ernest and maybe Red Cadeaux might come back to his best but when myself and workrider agree its usually the kiss of death. Right I'm off to watch my young lad play in the junior final against our arch rivals. |
|
By:
Enjoy the game Silvergreaser . Its good to see a Father been a part of his sons life....
|
|
By:
Really fine card with a few AOB shorties. Just the one strong fancy today ,Sudirman, already a Group 1 winner and the step up in trip will suit. Was the first horse off the bridle last time but still won well. Hannons horse making the market but hard to know why its so short.
|
|
By:
Won well at Goodwood Santry ..The second won the champagne stakes g2 doing handstands yesterday ...
|
|
By:
Listowel card isn,t bad either,be keeping an eye on Gentleman Duke 4.40 and Farells Fancy 5.10,(no bet) liked Baidin Fhelimi,s last run (travelled and stayed on well)7lb i didn,t think was excessive for that and did her ew in the mares handicap.Good days racing GL
|

By:
One that I thought was interesting was On the Way Out (11.0) in the handicap chase.A versatile and tough sort who has won on most grounds.
Although he is a 10 yo,he is a relatively unexposed over fences and is now back down to the mark that he was third off in a hot handicap at leopardstown at Christmas(finishing ahead of his Galway plate winning stablemate but no doubt CL was having a quiet one. He should improve from his seasonal debut at Killarney and eyecatching that Paul Townnend now takes over (won a Galway hurdle for stable on Indian Pace). Stable is in decent form with 4 of the last 20 runners obliging. |

Good Arc trial by Ruler of the World in France,came with a withering late run.
