Irish Racing Review: Naas, June 3rd 2013
Naas – Monday June 3rd 7f Maiden A poor race that took little winning; Ramsa, one of least exposed, got first run on second, good attitude, was taped up for this and may not want the ground this quick, an opinion voiced by trainer/jockey afterwards. One True Love an unlucky loser, going well swinging into [...]
Curragh – Sunday, May 26th 6f 2yo Maiden The obvious impression is that this was a good race but I’m not so sure and they looked something of a rogue’s gallery. To start with Taanif who unshipped rider shortly after stalls; he swished the tail just before doing this and may not be one to [...]

Ryan Moore owned them all in a tacitcal battle on the very able Ruler Of The World and Jim Bolger knows his genes. Who knew! By Dan Kelly – 29yo student of the Sport of Kings, Form-bookworm. Result is not only about who and the what, it’s just as much about the how and why [...]

Meeting Review: Naas – Wednesday, May 15th 6f 2yo Maiden The action took place up the centre of the track. Heart Focus is one that would find the stiff 6f here her minimum and trainer of same opinion afterwards; step up to 7f will suit though had looked limited before this. Pulled clear with [...]

Meeting Review: Leopardstown – Sunday, May 12th 6f 2yo Maiden This was slowly-run like many other races on the card and it was pretty boring to watch in truth; the first four in the same positions throughout. Sacred Aspect has come from the Focus On Venice race over course-and-distance and trainer was at pains [...]

Wasn’t all about the Group races on the Knavesmire last week. Here are a few thoughts on the middle distance handicap action. By Dan Kelly – 29yo student of the Sport of Kings, Form-bookworm. Result is not only about who and the what, it’s just as much about the how and why – Editor of [...]
Continue reading …Curragh – Monday, May 6th 5f 2yo Maiden Far from impressive from Michaelmas in a very weak race, looked to hold head slightly to side too and not totally helping jockey, likely aided by going from the front; his LTO form from Leopardstown is not working out despite looking a decent race at the [...]

Gowran Park – Sunday, April 28th 7f Maiden This form came out of nowhere with Tobann and hard to know whether to trust it; was ponied to the start and head a bit high, not the only wide-margin winner on the day. Silver Lightening’s debut form not worked out and looks limited while Scotland Forever [...]
Continue reading …Meeting Review: Naas – Saturday, April 20th 1m Maiden The pace here looked very strong for an ordinary maiden; time much the fastest over the trip on the day, spread out from an early stage and many well off it turning out of the back. Pay The Kitten put up a likeable show, finding plenty [...]

Leopardstown – Saturday, April 14th 6f 2yo Maiden Sedate pace here and Tom Dooley looks flattered having made it. Focus On Venice didn’t look much on breeding but Bolger can make a fool of pedigree and tends to run a good one in the race; he travelled worst of the first three but was professional. [...]

Curragh Review – Sunday, April 7th 5f 2yo Maiden Fast In The Wind had a bit of breeding to him, costing 45k and a half to Maybe Grace; had a clear run of things when switched wide from rear and his trainer’s horses have started the season well as has often been the case. Coach [...]

Last year’s winner Hunt Ball was arguably the story of The Festival given the parties involved, but what will this year’s renewal bring. Has one been laid out? Probably half dozen have in all honesty, but here we go with a look at the Irish challenge for Centenary Novices’ Handicap Chase. By Dan Kelly – [...]

Is Ballynagour really all that? Weights out, and in turn the handicaps are now beginning to take shape. Starting with the Byrne Group Plate, I look back on the recent races for some of the market leaders and how I see them working out come Cheltenham. By Dan Kelly – 28yo student of the Sport [...]
