Usually enjoy simply watching these races, but as highlighted by Salselon last night Ibn Khaldun does look a good price at 5/1
The difficulty is the O’Brien runners. Would be interesting to know how they are rated
But IK has that little bit more experience and goes on the ground and obviously the stable are going very well too
I was very taken by Frozen Fire’s debut performance as he looked green but once he got the message won going away.. Be interesting to see jockey bookings but if I was looking for one to oppose Ibn Khaldun with he would be the one..
I had liked the look of Confront for this and I wonder if it’s significant Stoute is sending Tajaaweed instead. That horse along with the O’Brien runners couldn’t be given a prayer on form but they have pedigrees and connections that suggest they are much better than they have shown so far.

It must be a bit of a pointer to ALMAJD in the Horris Hill that Richard Hills has chosen to go to Newbury to ride that one rather than Doncaster to ride Tajaaweed in the Racing Post Trophy.

I’m hoping Ibn Khaldun will romp home at Ascot and then go onto the Racing Post Trophy, and that Rio de la Plata, New Approach and Raven’s Pass will burn each other out in the Dewhurst and not train on, so that the former will be Godolphin’s choice for the 2000 Guineas, as I backed him before he ran at 130 and 140’s, and I want a run for my money
…does this mean I should lay it off?
Thank you very much David, and CR.
I’ve only had a few pounds on at those prices, anything more than a tenner and I would faint…lolI’ve never laid a bet before so I’ve no idea what I’m doing or whether it’s worth it – maybe I should wait see if the price contracts during the winter, which I think it will.
Going to Dubai does not fill me with confidence.
UGLY MARE
if you want to sell your ante post voucher im your man.
i belive we saw the gns winner today brilliant performance imo new app wouldnt have beaten ibn k today
roll on may.do people still have vouchers? and no I’m not selling.
Aidan O’Brien doesn’t have much to look forward to in the 3 year old division for next year does he? all getting turned over right left and centre.
hi TC [you do realise I’m going to end up calling you Top Cat…lol]
yes an interesting card at Leopardstown today, seems a bit odd for a Monday…not quite used to that…
that gr. 3 race should shed some light onto O’Brien’s prospects but I think he will have to come up with something a lot better than Footstepsinthesand [christ what a name to type…lol], if he’s going to win next years Guineas, which looks quite hot at this stage, don’t you think?
anyway, something to get our teeth into today and maybe we’ll see how good, or not so good, Jupiter Pluvius really is
‘
Interesting Group 3 race at The Curragh today. Great Rumpuscat, half-brother to Rumplestiltskin, and Jupiter Pluvius run, with the latter the mount of Heffernan. Should JP win, he will have had exactly the same 2yo campaign as Footstepsinthesand. Famous Name also an extremely interesting prospect.
One of the races of the season for juveniles IMO, especially since I fancy the Guineas winner to be one of the three I’ve mentioned...so do you still think it’s one of these 3?
hope you’ll catch up later..
