WELCOME TO THE CURRAGH

I would like to warmly welcome all racegoers to the Curragh today for our second Classic of the 2024 flat racing season – the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas.

Many thanks to all owners with runners here today – we appreciate your support – and to our race sponsors - Irish Stallion Farms, Trainer Stone and Tile, Quinnbet, Lanwades Stud, Scott Heider and the Heider family, Revamp Conservation, Fleetwood Paints and of course Tattersalls who sponsor both of our feature races and are fantastic partners to work with.

We are delighted with the declared runners for all races and there is competitive racing throughout.

We race again here at the Curragh on Wednesday June 5th and of course the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby meeting on June 28th – 30th is fast approaching.

Enjoy the racing and we look forward to seeing you back at the Curragh for these meetings and many more times during the year.

Best Wishes, Brian Kavanagh Chief Executive bkavanagh@curragh.ie

The Handicapper allots ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicapper to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

CURRAGH COMMENT

COLD HEARTED made a pleasing debut when third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother over a similar trip at Naas last month. The form of that race has been working out well since and the Jessica Harrington yard continues in great form. Heavens Gate is an obvious threat having also shaped well on debut when runner-up to the well-backed Unexpected Issues at Navan, while Queens Fury and Twinkling Toes also made promising debuts. And So To Bed is a Kodiac half-sister to three juvenile winners from a stable with a good line on juvenile form, while Grande Marques is by Starspangledbanner and from a family which connections have enjoyed plenty of success with.

CURRAGH COMMENT

Asian Daze gained a third career win when making an impressive reappearance over 7f here earlier this month, beating SLUICE by three and a half lengths. However, the Joseph O’Brien-trained filly could be suited by the combination of moving up to a mile and this sounder surface, so may reverse the form on 10lb better terms. Flight Of Fancy takes a drop in class after her fourth in a Naas Group 3 and the step back in trip could suit, while Zaynab showed a smart turn of foot to snatch a 7f maiden here last month. Evening Blossom and September Leaves are two to consider on their handicap debut with useful claimers booked.

WIN: SLUICE

DANGER: Asian Daze

Just Beautiful was a five-time winner in Britain and this was the first time she showed her class for her stable. She appreciated the soft going and took up the running under Wayne Lee, who had the previous two renewals. The smart mare made virtually all and when push come to shove, she knuckled down well and showed she had stamina along with pace Jumbly put in a solid performance but had to settle for second, while the Park Express winner Insinuendo was on her tail to the finish.

CURRAGH COMMENT

Joseph O’Brien holds a strong hand here and ROGUE MILLENNIUM may prove the pick of his trio The Dubawi mare seems best suited by a mile and good ground, having won the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot last year and also filling the runner-up spot behind Tahiyra in the Group 1 Matron Stakes at Leopardstown, before being sold out of Tom Clover’s yard for 1,650,000 guineas in December Goldana had Villanova Queen five lengths behind when just touched off at Gowran last time, while Gregarina got up on the line to pip You Send Me by a head in the Group 3 Athasi Stakes over 7f here earlier this month.

Ryan Moore produced a masterclass on last year’sTattersallsGoldCupwinnerLuxembourg who provided Aidan O’Brien with a recordextending tenth win in this contest. The wellfancied Vadeni ran no sort of race in a strong renewal which left two high class sorts battling out the finish. Moore set out some reasonable early fractions and stacked his rivals behind him turning for home and dug deep to defy the Ascot Champion Stakes winner Bay Bridge by half a length. The pair were in a different class on the day and pulled a further six lengths clear of Piz Badile

CURRAGH COMMENT

WHITE BIRCH must turn around the Epsom and Irish Derby form with Auguste Rodin but has had a better preparation. Ground-versatile, he was beaten a little over five lengths by Auguste Rodin in the Derby and, while disappointing in the Irish version, he’s looked better than ever this year Auguste Rodin flopped for a third time in March’s Sheema Classic and while two of those disappointments were on seasonal reappearances, he also failed in the King George last July. This race has been his target since Meydan and, while better can be expected, he needs his best to beat the selection in his current mood. Lumiere Rock finished third in October’s Prix de l’Opera and is noted along with Elegant Man.

WIN: WHITE BIRCH

DANGER: Auguste Rodin

WHAT ARE GUINEAS?

Guineas were a currency used from the 1600’s to the 1800’s.

Used in Great Britain, Guineas were phased out with the introduction of the pound and was a niche currency with it’s use only common in legal fields and livestock auctions.

A guinea is equivalent to £1.05.

WHO ARE TATTERSALLS?

Tattersalls are Europe’s largest bloodstock auctioneers and the world’s oldest, dating back to 1766. From their base at Park Paddocks in Newmarket, Tattersalls offers more than 5,000 thoroughbreds each year and host the most prestigious bloodstock sales, notably the October Yearling Sale which sees millions spent on racing’s next best prospects.

The Classics are five Group 1 races which are all run at the Curragh.

Four of the five races are restricted to three-year-olds, and showcase the best horses of the three-year-old generation which shape the breed of the throughbred horse

The five races are the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas, the Irish Derby, the Irish Oaks and the Irish St Leger.

The Irish Classics are slightly different to the other European Classics, as the Irish St Leger is not age restricted, so is open to horses aged three and older. LEGENDARY

CURRAGH COMMENT

OPERA SINGER was a top juvenile last year and while she missed the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket having met with a setback, it is encouraging she contests this Classic. By City Of Troy’s sire Justify, she has her first run as a three-year-old and meets high-class, race-fit rivals, although she did win the Prix Marcel Boussac by five lengths last October and looks up to the task. Vespertilio finished a close third in the French equivalent and while she has proven recent form, she would probably prefer some cut in the ground. She was beaten by Fallen Angel here last September, but the UK raider does need to improve on her Newmarket exploits.

The Curragh would like to acknowledge the generous support of Scott Heider and his family today and celebrate their growing association with horse racing in Ireland.

Scott Heider and his family has been involved with racing in Ireland for eight years now. The history of the Irish horse is what initially drew them in and caused them to expand their racing operation from the States to Ireland.

“It’s just been a fantastic experience for us. We love our partnership with Joseph O’Brien and we’ve been very fortunate to race some talented individuals on Irish racecourses the last few years.

Horse Racing Ireland has been a pleasure to work with as they always seem to go out of there way to make sure our experience is quite special.”

“I began racing and breeding thoroughbreds with my father 26 years ago in The States. We’ve enjoyed some terrific times and been blessed with a number of high calibre horses including 2019 Grade I winner “Mia Mischief”.

But there’s something extra special about racing in Ireland with its incredible history.”

The Heider’s success has been marked with victories on some of racing’s biggest days. Crossfirehurricane won on debut at Limerick and followed that up with three successive victories, notably in the Listed Patton Stakes at Dundalk and then the Gallinule Stakes, which they sponsored earlier in the season.

Agartha is another smart mare that Scott has on his hands in the Joseph O’Brien stable. She landed the Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown in fantastic style, before kicking on again to land the Debutante Stakes here at the Curragh. She has showed she remains a top force too with two seconds in Group 3 company, before stepping up to the top ranks here at the Curragh when a solid fifth in the 1,000 Guineas, won by Homeless Song. She will be hoping to get back to Group success this season.

More recently, the five-year-old Brostaigh has proved to be a classy sprinter. She contested the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Flying Five Stakes here in 2022 but has yet to been seen since, while their three year old colt Stromberg contests their sponsored race today after finishing second at Cork last time out.

However, there is little doubt that this year’s Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes favourite is the one right at the top of her game. Beaten just a length by the beautiful Tahiyra on Saturday of the Irish Champions Weekend in the Matron Stakes, she went from strength-to-strength last season and was subsequently bought for a whopping 1,650,000 GNS and makes her stable debut today.

The Heider’s affiliation with the Curragh can be found through their welcome sponsorship of the Round Tower Stakes and the Gallinule Stakes,

CURRAGH COMMENT

SPOKEN TRUTH won the same Cork maiden that Dermot Weld’s dual Derby winner Harzand landed in 2016. Those behind him at Cork haven’t boosted the form but the son of Frankel remains a colt of some promise and his trainer believes he will improve for better ground. Aidan O’Brien runs three and Ryan Moore has plumped for Mundi. The brother to Churchill won a Dundalk maiden over a mile on debut but doesn’t hold any notable entries in the coming months. Stablemate Chief Little Rock, twice runner-up in Group races last term, is highest-rated and ran well when third in a Listed contest at Epsom on his reappearance Norwalk Havoc’s pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer trip

WIN: SPOKEN TRUTH

SIDIZA, a half-sister to a 1m4f winner from the family of Sinndar, has obviously shown promise in her homework as she holds an entry in the Group 3 Munster Oaks at Cork next month and Dermot Weld’s daughter of Sea The Stars can make a winning debut. Ryan Moore sets a poser by riding Lily Hart, unfancied when down the field at Dundalk on her sole outing at two, as opposed to North Africa who was green when showing mild promise at Leopardstown a fortnight ago The latter holds the same Group 3 entry as the selection, and so too does claimerridden Pink Orchid who is a third runner for Ballydoyle Gowran fourth Hanalia may improve for better ground.

CURRAGH COMMENT

Fourth in the Fred Winter, HARSH has risen to a hurdles mark of 128 after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival and looks nicely treated on the level. He’s had only five starts in this discipline and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip Bay Of Sanibel is a proven stayer and is only 4lb higher than when scoring at Navan. She was value for more than the winning margin and, like the selection, is open to more improvement. Bumper winner The Mediator showed promise in Flat maidens last year and has a massive pull at the weights with Bay Of Sanibel compared to a clash at Navan in October

WIN: HARSH

DANGER: Bay Of Sanibel

HORSEWELFARE-APRIORITY

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 an injury 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.
