The best on a poor Friday came at The Curragh where Shackleton was 4th with the Group 3 going to Thrice who beat Emit by a head. Over at Downpatrick Depalma was 6th in a race won by Goodie Girl who beat Arcland by 1/2 a length.
The Curragh stages 8 races on Saturday with 2 taking centre stage.
3.05: Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes (Group 2)
7: Storm Boy: A smart horse who ran well in Australia including finishing a very good 3rd on one of his last starts in the Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill back in March last year. He has big race entries at Royal Ascot on the horizon and should capitalise on the drop in class here and win on his first start for Aidan O’Brien.
3.40: Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group 1)
4: Field Of Gold: An excellent horse who impressed when winning the Craven at Newmarket on his return and was unlucky not to win the English 2,000 Guineas on the same course last time. He made good headway from 2 out finishing strongly and only going down by 1/2 a length. He should make amends here and pick up a 4th career win.
