Hi all,

It’s Classic time across the Irish Sea as the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (3:40) takes centre stage at the Curragh. The fillies and older horses get their turn on Sunday, with the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Tattersalls Gold Cup on a cracking card.

Haydock hosts a strong supporting cast. The Group 2 Betfred Sandy Lane Stakes (3:00) brings together some of the top Commonwealth Cup contenders, while older sprinters clash in the Group 2 Temple Stakes (3:25). Earlier, the Betfred Silver Bowl (1:50)—always a lively betting heat—heads the handicap action.

ITV Racing brings us five races from Haydock, two from Goodwood, and both of Beverley’s key juvenile contests: the Hilary Needler Trophy (2:10) and the Bet365 Two-Year-Old Trophy (2:45). The Irish 2,000 Guineas will also be shown live.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece I am looking at Saturday’s Temple Stakes Day at Haydock.

Hi all,

Inside today’s main piece I’m looking at the Derby & Oaks Pictures.  Plus, there one I like for Saturday’s Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.

Hi all,

In today’s piece I’m looking back at York’s Dante Meeting, which delivered plenty of future winners. Unlike Chester’s May meeting, where I struggled to find eyecatchers, York offered a host of hard-luck stories—rare for a track that usually produces clean races.
