Coolmore Stud Auguste Rodin Athasi Stakes (Gr.3)
Coolmore Stud Henry Longfellow Tetrarch Stakes (L.R.)
I would like to extend a warm Curragh welcome to you today for the fourth meeting of the 2025 racing season at the Curragh – our Newbridge Community Race Day. We are delighted to be back racing at the Curragh as the flat season in Ireland gains momentum. Congratulations to our colleagues in Punchestown on a wonderful festival of National Hunt racing last week.
Last year we had 70 different winning trainers at the Curragh and a strong British challenge was a feature of the year. Our 11 Group 1 races were shared amongst 8 winning trainers, and we enjoyed some outstanding racing. Once again, this year we are seeing a good spread of winners at the Curragh.
In 2025 we will race 24 times in total with the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby scheduled for Sunday June 29th. We have increased our prize money again this year with the focus on our Listed, Group 3 races and better class handicaps. We are grateful for the support of Horse Racing Ireland and our race sponsors who are critical to underpinning prize money levels here at the Curragh.
Today’s race sponsors are the Irish European Breeders Fund, Keadeen Hotel, the Treacy Group, P.G Duffy & Sons, Holden Plant Rentals and Coolmore Stud who sponsor three races including the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes. Your support is greatly appreciated, and I hope you all have a great day.
I would also like to thank the owners of runners here today - we hope your experience at the Curragh is a good one and that you will relax and enjoy your day in the Tattersalls Owners Club located on Level 2 of the racecourse. Thank you for running your horse at the Curragh.
Please try out our café Orby’s by Lucy which is beside the parade ring and is open seven days a week, Lilywhites Bar and the various facilities in Champions Hall, including our Big Screen. To watch the racing, seating is available for all patrons throughout the final furlong at the front of the stand. We are always interested in hearing customer feedback.
We are delighted to work closely with Newbridge Parishes, in particular with Father Ruairi O’Domhnaill and the Reverand Isobel Jackson. The Curragh in collaboration with the Parishes Race Day organising committee ensure we do all we can to make this a fun day out for all the community, in addition to raising funds for very worthy projects in our locality
We race here again at the Curragh in three weeks’ time for the first classics of the Irish flat season, the Tattersalls Irish 2000 and 1000 Guineas. We look forward to welcoming you back here that weekend (May 23rd – 25th) and regularly during the 2025 flat racing season.
Best wishes for a memorable day’s racing.

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
A half-brother to a two-year-old winner who went on to pick up black-type as a juvenile, NEOLITHIC has the pedigree to be competitive on debut. While the son of Sioux Nation will almost certainly want further in time, this looks the right trip starting off With those drawn high having had a noticeable advantage at the last meeting here, the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt looks nicely berthed on the stands side Killourney Reigns is also of interest on his racecourse debut. Trainer Johnny Murtagh sent out his half-sister to make a winning start to her career She later went on to finish runner-up in a Grade 2 in America. Substance, a half-brother to two black-type horses, also merits respect. WIN: NEOLITHIC
DANGER:Killourney Reigns

CURRAGH COMMENT
Impressive Dundalk maiden winner LADY IMAN should be hard to beat if able to replicate that form on grass. Well supported to make a winning debut, the daughter of Starman had clearly being showing plenty at home The form of that race has been well advertised subsequently, with both the runner-up and third placed horse going on to land their respective maidens. Power Blue, who won the opening juvenile race of the season over course and distance, holds every chance On collateral form, the Adrian Murray-trained colt has work to do with the selection but he is entitled to have improved from that initial run. True Love, a full-sister to a winning juvenile, has to be respected on her introduction.
WIN: LADY IMAN

The Paddy Twomey-trained CURRAWOOD should be progressive enough to cope with this rise in class. Placed in two maidens at this track last season, he opened his account at Dundalk towards the end of March. Back on grass last time, the son of Acclamation easily disposed of some smart previous winners to land a competitive contest at Cork. He certainly deserves to take his chance in Listed company here and holds every chance of completing the hat-trick. Third in the Gladness Stakes at this venue on his return, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Officer is entitled to have come on for that outing. Alakazi is also worthy of consideration.

CURRAGH COMMENT
It could pay to take a chance on the Joseph O’Brien-trained handicap debutant BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR. Unlucky in running when sent off a warm favourite on her racecourse debut at Dundalk, the daughter of Wootton Bassett then finished runner-up to Powerful Lady on her next start. However, it is her latest run, when third behind a pair of fillies now rated in the 90s, that makes her of interest here off just 77 The aforementioned Powerful Lady has to have every chance of confirming that previous form but may not have as much scope for improvement. Course maiden winner Orchidaceae should find this easier than the Group 3 contest she contested at Leopardstown.

CURRAGH COMMENT
CHANTEZ was a smart juvenile last year and should be suited by this distance on her first start at three By Wootton Bassett, her previous races have all been at Leopardstown and having readily won her maiden, she landed September’s competitive Ingabelle Stakes. She has already beaten five of these rivals, with Garden Of Eden finishing second in the Ingabelle She disappointed in two subsequent runs here but returned lame having lost a shoe last September and is entitled to have come forward for last month’s reappearance Cercene is another to bear in mind.

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.

CURRAGH COMMENT
LOS ANGELES returns following a fine three-year-old season. He disappointed on his final start last year but had otherwise performed to a consistently high level, with his Irish Derby success a particular highlight. 2023 Derby third White Birch won last year’s renewal of this race prior to winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup The race-fit Galen beat Jan Brueghel last month and, although the St Leger winner was reappearing over an inadequate distance, Joseph O’Brien’s inmate still warrants plenty of respect.
WIN: LOS ANGELES
RACESPONSOR
DANGER: White Birch
A representative of Coolmore Stud will present a trophy to the winning owner, trainer and jockey and a gift to the groom in charge of the horse judged to be best turned out.

CURRAGH COMMENT
SHOWHOUND ran well on his first start for new connections over C&D last month. A dual UK winner, he is ground-versatile and while raised 4lb following his recent runner-up effort, finished nicely clear of the third-placed El Bello, who reopposes. A reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Nine-time winner Notforalongtime has been running consistently well and while well suited by this distance, has a wide draw in 23. Six-time winner Mullacash Buzz has a similar profile and continues in good form.

CURRAGH COMMENT
KWA HERINI ran well in a recent handicap and has an unexposed profile Out of a Group 3-winning dam who has already bred five winners, the selection showed just mild promise at Dundalk last winter but ran a solid race over course-and-distance last month, with further progression possible She’s Smart ran well on soft ground at Navan recently and while she is also suited by a sound surface, her best form is at five furlongs. Martinelli has useful recent form and seems at his best on easy ground but it is at least interesting that he drops markedly to this distance
