Irish Derby 2021

[The Tatling Cheekily]

Not sure why Mac Swiney is 15/2. As good an e/w bet as I have seen for a while.

C T Keane kept the ride on Van Gogh and S Heffernan chose to ride Wordsworth. One thing for sure A P not making Epsom’s mistake having one runner.

Fernando Vicci ew 50/1

Cracker of a race that

Both the first and second given excellent rides

Obreins 3yo colts bar st marks basilica really are useless

I liked high definition for the leger but I think he might be too slow even for that

[Mike007]

High Definition stumbled and nearly fell in the back straight and struggled after that. Will see what jockey says.

interference by winner

[Cork All Star]

High Definition stumbled in the early stages of the race. The useless Hannon did not see it but more surprisingly Gary O’Brien and Donn McLean did not see it either.

Made no difference to the result but it hardly helped his cause.

At least Wordsworth got the each way money…

[The Tatling Cheekily]

High Definition is slower than a crippled tortoise. Long may the hype machines keep him and Santa Barbara taking huge chunks out of the market.

BUY THE SUN

My main Derby bet wins!!!

Or should I say:

My main Epsom Derby bet wins the Irish Derby…

Without me having a penny on.

Congrats to everyone who backed him.

Value Is Everything

Happy with Lone Eagle on going that would have been a bit on the quick side. Think he’ll stand a great chance in the Leger.
I’ve backed Wordsworth all year so nice to see him run a fair race in a group 1. Was wide enough around the bend.
Well done those on Hurricane Lane he’s a tough one

I think we know that feeling and have been proved right but in the wrong race!

Winner proved the Epsom form was decent, second ran a cracker under a canny ride from Dettori.

[Mike007]

Wd winners

[FinalFurlong91]

Id be of the thinking that hurricane lane is the best 3yo middle distance colt this year and that he just didn’t handle Epsom

Frankie gave Lone Eagle a brilliant ride but hurricane lanes class got him up to win from an impossible looking position

Not sure how they will match up against love and tarnawa though, at this stage id be siding with the older horses

[sporting sam]

Great analysis everyone as usual.
Well done winners. Enjoyable race and can see why the trip to Epsom was cancelled.
