Welcome to Day 1 of Dublin Racing Festival 2022. There is a top quality day of racing today with four Grade 1 races, a leading Grade 2 bumper and two competitive handicaps. Todays feature race, the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup promises to be another thrilling contest and we are very grateful for the support of Paddy Power

for this and the two supporting handicap races.

We also welcome the return of full crowds to Leopardstown for the first time since Dublin Racing Festival 2020. We are delighted to have racing fans back to experience National Hunt racing at Leopardstown and look forward to seeing everyone, without you, there has been a huge void at racing for the past two years.

Welcome to Leopardstown Racecourse for the second of our Bulmers Live at Leopardstown race meetings, showing the best of Irish and international music acts after racing. We have well-known Dublin act, Keywest performing for you this evening, followed by Mark McCabe, Wallis Bird, The Undertones, The Academic, The Human League and The Whistlin’ Donkeys throughout the Summer.

As with our spectators, our sponsors are integral to our racedays and we are very thankful for the support of Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors, Racing TV, and Goffs today, many of whom have supported Dublin Racing Festival since its inception. The continued support of all of todays sponsors have ensured we can continue to deliver competitive racing on what has become a marquee festival in the National Hunt calendar in only it’s fifth year as a festival.

Today’s card features 8 races including the Group 3 TRI Equestrian Ballycorous Stakes. It’s set to be a hotly contested field of eight runners. TRI Equestrian are based in Newbridge, Co Kildare and offer a range of goods and services predominantly for the equine industry, from horse shampoo to an equine multi vitamin supplement. TRI is the one stop shop for all things equine and horse rider related, they also do a lovely breakfast in their onsite café with brilliant views of the Curragh Gallops so it is worth a visit.

We want to emphasise to all those attending, that although government restrictions relating to Covid-19 have been eased, we continue to encourage diligence and ask everyone to be mindful of others and continue best practice in relation to hand sanitising and masked wearing in crowded areas.

We would also like to thank the Irish EBF for their continual support at Leopardstown. The Irish Stallion Farms EBF are key sponsors over all Irish racecourses and put a considerable amount of funding into Irish racing through additional prize money each year. The EBF also support selected veterinary research programmes benefitting the racing and breeding industry. This significant support is an important aspect for the whole industry and is a significant benefit to the owners through the contribution to the prize fund.

HRI Racecourses recently unveiled a primary partnership with Bulmers Ireland where they will become the Official Entertainment Partner of HRI Racecourses with the aim of enhancing all racegoers experience across our four racecourses at Leopardstown, Fairyhouse, Navan and Tipperary, the first manifestation of this is at Dublin Racing Festival and we are looking forward to seeing Mundy and his band playing live on stage in the Bulmers Secret Orchard Marquee after racing today.

Horse Care on Raceday

The wellbeing of horses is integral to the thoroughbred racehorse industry. Racecourses play their part through adherence to a clear set of industry standards. Prior to each race meeting an independent track inspection is carried out by an IHRB accredited “Clerk of the Course”. This individual will check all equine facilities, including ground conditions, railing, stables and veterinary care facilities. All racecourses must meet the required standards to be granted a licence to race.

At every race meeting a team of equine veterinary surgeons supervise the wellbeing of horses. All racecourse vets must be members of the Association of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRVS) and will have received specialist training in the field of racecourse work.

The IHRB Veterinary Officer at each meeting has responsibilities including:

• Horse Identification - achieved through checking their microchip numbers against those recorded in their passports.

• Drug Testing - a process is vital to ensure the integrity of the sport.

• General oversight of horse care and wellbeing.

• Provision of advice to the Stewards, on veterinary matters. A racecourse vet will check horses at the start for each race. If they deem any horse unfit to race at this point, they have the authority to withdraw the horse. During the race the vets follow on, within the convoy of vehicles seen on the service road. Other vehicles in this convoy include doctors, paramedics and ground-staff. This whole team will swing into action if any incident occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse or jockey receiving treatment. This allows the veterinary or medical teams some privacy to fully assess the casualty. Racegoers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured participant.

The Blue Cross Horse Ambulance are also present every meeting, the service is operated by skilled personnel using specially equipped horse ambulances. They work to support the Veterinary Team. They respond swiftly to any incidents involving injured horses and transport them off the racetrack for specialist veterinary care if required.

The presentation of the horses on race day reflects the preparation at home. The results of good feeding, good housing, good health, and good wellbeing are clear to see when a horse appears at the races bright-eyed with a gleaming coat and a spring in their step. Raceday is great opportunity for the public to observe the high standards of care given to these horses.

All horses are accompanied on raceday by their own dedicated stable staff. These skilled people will have spent many months and sometimes years preparing their horses for the raceday. They lavish care and attention, day in, day out, in all weathers, and the industry is extremely proud of these excellent individuals. They help maintain Ireland’s position as an international leader in the thoroughbred breeding, training, and racing industry, ensuring best-in-class integrity and equine welfare standards.

Quite a competitive Group 3 and the progressive MUTASARREF is the narrow pick. He should have improved from his reappearance and Colin Keane prefers him to Power Under Me. Ocean Jewel is interesting stepping up in trip, while Real Appeal is solid at this level. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

Queen Mab is one of the more interesting unexposed types, but potentially even more so is PROVE IT who could be very well handicapped on his early season form and is well worth a market check.

HORSE WELFARE – A PRIORITY

At every race meeting there are specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who, follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if a casualty occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and race goers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary.

A second veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horses requiring such attention post race.

The horses’ welfare is always our priority.

RACE VERDICT

The two last-time-out winners, BLUE PEAK and Shona Mea are of most interest, with preference for the former, who has only had six starts and a 6lb rise for her Roscommon win was fair. Smaoineamh Sile is 2lb lower than for her last C&D winning mark but is making her seasonal debut. Slamadoor and Kampala Beach are also of interest. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Having improved hugely in two hurdle wins for this yard lately, REFLECTIONIST could be difficult to beat off 51 returned to the Flat. Zileo has been in fine fettle and is a big player if holding his form, while Sea Oscar, Red Vermillion, Charlie Luciano and Extensio are others to consider. Art Of Silence is of interest on handicap debut. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post
