Sunday's big races at The Curragh saw a mixed bag of results. In the 2.55 Winter Power was 10th,the 16/5 chance led after 2 furlongs but came under pressure 1 1/2 furlongs out. She was passed soon after and had no extra with the 16/1 shot Romantic Proposal winning by 1/2 a length. In the Moyglare Stud Stakes Agartha was 2nd,she went off at 100/30 and led early. She was caught 1 1/2 furlongs out and passed in the final 100 yards by the 17/2 winner Discoveries. At 4.05 Point Lonsdale lost his 100% record finishing 2nd,the 8/13 favourite disputed the lead from 2 1/2 furlongs out. He was under pressure in 2nd inside the final furlong keeping on at the same pace allowing Native Trail to win by 3 1/2 lengths. In the final Group one of the weekend Twilight Payment was also 2nd,the 9/2 shot sat 2nd at halfway and led from 2 out. He was narrowly passed a furlong out and despite pressing inside the final furlong he couldn't pass the winner Sonnyboyliston who came home by 3/4 of a length.
After an exciting weekend including the six Group one’s there is no Irish racing on Monday however Thirsk,Worcester, Brighton and Kempton all have cards for your enjoyment. The next Irish meeting sees 8 races at Punchestown on Tuesday my preview of that will be up on Monday night.
