It was a great midweek for my picks,at Limerick Teahupoo won. The 8/15 favourite led for most of the way but was passed 2 out. He rallied on the run-in leading again in the final 50 yards beating Quilixios by 1/2 a length. At Leopardstown Run Wild Fred finished 2nd,the 9/4 favourite was 2nd early but soon disputed the lead. He made a bad mistake 7 out and kept on at one pace in the final furlongs allowing Fury Road to win by 8 lengths. In the final big race Sharjah made history winning the Matheson Hurdle for a 4th time. The 5/6 favourite was at the rear early but was soon chasing the leaders. He travelled smoothly in the straight and under pressure moved into the lead inside the final furlong. He stayed on well to beat Zanahiyr by a neck.
After a busy 4 days at Leopardstown and Limerick with 8 Grade One's there is no Irish racing on Thursday but meetings do take place at Taunton, Haydock and Wolverhampton. The next Irish card is at Punchestown on Friday my preview of that will be up on Thursday night.
