On a busy Saturday all 3 of my picks finished 2nd. In the Group 3 at The Curragh Kind Of Blue was in midfield sitting 4th 150 yards out, the 11/4 favourite stayed on well taking 2nd towards the finish just failing to reach Givemethebeatboys who won by a head. The days Group 1 saw Whistlejacket dispute the lead early moving to the front just over a furlong out, the 8/13 favourite was passed soon after by Babouche who won by 1 1/2 lengths. Over at Kilbeggan Winding River lost to The Dara Man by 2 lengths.
Seven races take place at Downpatrick on Sunday where 2 stand out.
2.48: Congratulations To Pinkerton On Winning The Tote Galway Plate Rated Hurdle.
4: Mordor: A useful hurdler who's last win came at Sligo in July. He was a creditable 2nd when last seen at Galway 2 weeks ago sitting 4th approaching the last taking 2nd in the final 100 yards. He should continue his excellent year here and return to winning ways.
3.48: Mighty Women Awards Mares Handicap Hurdle.
2: Bella Bliss: A horse in good form who picked up 3 wins last season. She was a decent 4th on her latest outing at Galway 11 days ago travelling well from the last to take 4th inside the final furlong. She wears cheekpieces for the first time here and in a competitive race she just gets the vote.
