In Sunday's 4 feature races it was a mixed bag of results. At Leopardstown Ace Aussie was 3rd,the 7/4 favourite was 2nd entering the final furlong however he made no impression on the winner Maker Of Kings and slipped to 3rd in the final strides. In the Irish 1000 Guineas trial My Generation was 9th,the 15/2 shot was always at the rear of the field and kept on at one pace with the 11/4 favourite Joan Of Arc winning by 1 3/4 lengths. In the Derby Trial Bolshoi Ballet was an impressive winner,the 1/1 favourite beat Lough Derg by 6 lengths and immediately lept to the top of the Derby betting being quoted 7/4 favourite for the big race at Epsom next month. At Killarney Andratx fell 3 out with the 9/2 chance Jesse Evans winning.
Another busy week begins on Monday with 8 races at Killarney where the main contest is the 7.10 when 18 line-up for the Gmhd Killarney National Handicap Chase. Fag An Bealach picked up 3 wins from 8 runs last season and was a creditable 10th at Punchestown just 9 days ago and she is expected to be well up there here. Shady Operator last won at Punchestown back in February but was a faller in a handicap chase at Downpatrick when last seen 50 days ago in a race won by Fag An Bealach. Despite that fall he is one of the main challengers in this one. Speak Easy was a good third at Fairyhouse in early April and going significantly up in trip here gives him a good chance. The other challenger is Space Cadet who was a below form 7th in his last outing at Punchestown 11 days ago,he goes down in trip here and will look to bounce back so he can't be overlooked.
Big race prediction: 14: Fag An Bealach.
This is my 250th post so a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read any of my posts and congratulations if any of my predictions have won you any money.
