I backed it at 4/1 if you read the thread I said I thought he would drift and would back him at the last minute.
The reason I thought he would drift is the sound advice given by others. Most here seem to utilise BOG so they would get the 7/2. |

By:
Yes I think we all understand bog. But if you were in a tipping competition, I am sure you would gladly take the 7-2 and not the 5-4 yeah....
Anyway, well done. Hope you won bundles. |

slickster can i ask you do you bet on horses at all?do you understand it at all?!?! i dont think theres a shop in ireland that you can take a moring price and NOT get bog..who mentioned a tipping competition ffs? he was discussing one particular race.he also said he thought it would drift? maybe you should stop posting for a while on things you know nothing about..

How slow are you? WE ALL UNDERSTAND BOG!!! I was slagging the wildman re the O'Hehir thread. I wont bother going into it with you. It would be too technical.

You're good, kid, but as long as I'm around you're second best. You might as well learn to live with it.

Runs again tomorrow. Tougher opposition as Black sea looks rock solid. Interesting to see what it finds when the O'Brien horse puts it up to it, as doubt it will be able to win this race on the bridle, but still looks the value out of the two of them.

He showed what he was made of at Naas but it's a big step up from a maiden to a Group Three and he's bridged the gap well. He's a very talented colt and does everything very easy. There was a bit of added pressure after being bought by Sheik Fahad, and it's great to win a Group Three for him. M D O'Callaghan, trainer

He's showing himself to be a very useful horse, certainly capable of showing up well next season.
In a season where Weld and Oxx haven't produced a top 2yo colt, Blue De Vega looks like he can make a mark on the Classic Trials at the very least next Spring. |

Taken from an interview on the 27th of May with Kevin Blake;
Sometimes the rose tinted are on with an unraced by the trainer but in this case young Micheal is spot on i think. Unnamed 2 br c Lope de Vega- Burning Heights. "I bought him last week(75k) at the breeze up in Goresbridge and i was delighted to get him,as i really liked him,he is by a serious stallion and is a lovely stamp of a horse that should come into his own at the backend of the season. I am looking forward to getting to know him and i'm excited by him". |

Interesting to see how far Wildman judgement on Blue de vega has come, Vega is as little as 10/1 to win the 2000g on saterday, his jocky Colin Keane is very hopeful about his chances, good luck Wildman

I fancy Awtaad big for this race. He is very progressive and has been impressive with each step up in class. Really can't have War Fronts at 3yo+. Not sure why Coolmore are so keen on him (No doubt one will dot up tomorrow
) |

Awtaad travelled best in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas and powered home to give Kevin Prendergast and Chris Hayes Classic glory.
The 9/2 chance beat 5/4 favourite Galileo Gold into second by two and a half lengths with Blue De Vega (7/1) a further four and a quarter lengths back in third. Hayes settled his charge in mid-division as Air Vice Marshal dictated the fractions from Sanus Per Aquam. The pair were a close fifth with half a mile to travel and improved on the outer to third at the three pole. He tanked into the lead at the two marker and was ridden a furlong and a half down to go for home. In the final furlong he was chased by Galileo Gold but Awtaad galloped on to win for Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. Octogenarian Kevin Prendergast said: "It was great, the best thing that has happened to me for years. I'd like to thank Sheikh Hamdan for having faith in me for a long time. He's a very good horse. He's improving and I think a trip won't be any different problem to him. “He was very backward as a two-year-old and I’d say he’s as good a horse as I’ve had. We have a dry place at home and he worked well there but he had won on soft so we accepted it. "I think he’s a very good horse but how far he will go I don’t know. He was forced to go a bit early today as Frankie was in a bit of bother on the inside, so he kicked and hoped for the best. “I don’t know where he will go next. The boss man makes the decision and we go along with it. The last one (Irish 2,000 Guineas) was 40 years ago and a lot of lads weren’t born then! “He’s in the (Investec) Derby and the Irish Derby so we’ll see what he (Sheikh Hamdan) wants to do. There is a good bit of stamina in the family so who knows.” Chris Hayes said: "We just wanted to get him into a nice rhythm and get him switched off. Kevin's was a little bit gassy in front of me (Sanus Per Aquam) and I was happy enough to take a lead and I could see where Frankie was (on Galileo Gold). He didn't have an acre of room so I was just making sure I was keeping him as tight as I could. It just meant that I kicked a bit sooner than anticipated. "My lad is as genuine as hell and he just kept his head going. I'd love to have got a lead a bit longer and you'd see an even better horse but he was good enough. You can be lying in second gear on him and all you have to do is move your hands and he goes from second to fifth and you drop back down again. He's the closest thing to driving a car you'll find with a set of reins! "He's a gentleman of a horse. He switched off and everything went according to plan. It means the world to me to be able to ride a Classic winner for the boss. He said there was a lot of VAT paid in between the last time he had a Classic winner so it's just nice. "I could see him (Frankie Dettori) on the big screen and I'd love to have let Frankie out on a normal day but not in a Classic. It means the world to me. The boss has been so good to me since I was 15 years of age when I landed in Kildare. He has stood by me every inch of the way. That's the only way I can repay him. "I had probably too much faith in him. I didn't sleep for a week. He excites you this horse. I'd love to go to Royal Ascot with him and get a top hat on! I don’t know if he will get a mile and a half but I think he will definitely get a mile and a quarter.” |
