Saturday promised much for the horses on my list to follow but in the end we only had one winner, with again Kieren Fallon the man producing the goods. Moss Vale’s success at The Curragh was all we had to show for a large number of runners at the end of the day although Sir Gerard, Degas Art and Elusive Dream were all 2nds.
The least said about Saturday the better so swiftly on to Sunday where there is flat racing at Newmarket and The Curragh. In the 2.40 at HQ I am interested in Dazed and Amazed and Vital Statistics who were 3 and 4th respectively on their debuts. They were only separated by half a length and will probably both go on to win races. I thought Vital Statistics might have had more scope for improvement that day and I would just give him the edge, although the stable seem to be having a bit of a lean time of it lately.
In the 3.50 Banjo Patterson represents the list to follow. He has gone down 1 lb in the weights since his last run here. His wins have all come on a sound surface and that is the worry. Firenze was on last season’s list but this is another one that is best on faster ground. We have a few runners at The Curragh from the list to follow. 3.00 Hurricane Run3.35 Race for the Stars4.10 Puerto Rico See you tomorrow
