4.10 Curragh 
4 year olds have won the last 3 renewals 1 high / middle / low draws & from a rating of 87-98 & 2 fit that bill .
Take Heart 11/1 ( Sky 6 places ) 
Lan Cintre ( 18/1 ( Sky 6 places )
👎 10th & 15th , I think the favourite won .
Nice to see some flat turf racing back , I always keep an eye on Jim Bolger & Dermot Welds runners early & late season on testing going across the seas .

As usual the Irish kick off the turf Flat season in our islands at Curragh today. The UK joins in at the weekend with Doncaster (Brocklesby, Lincoln, Cammidge, Doncaster Mile)
today's features are the 1.35 - the first two year old race of the season which despite being so early has a decent record of throwing up some decent horses who will feature in group races as the season progresses
the 3.40 - Park Express Stakes (G3) . the first group race of the season. The obvious one here is the favourite Goldana from Joseph O'Brien' yard. Currently around 9/4. She's won on Heavy, she won first time out last year, she's won in Group 3 company and the yard is in great form on the AW and over Jumps in the last couple of weeks.
the 4.10 - The Irish Lincolnshire. Twenty runner handicap ....... my idea of hell ! You can stick your own pins in this one !
 

With some bookies offering 6 places you might make a profit with that pin !

Congrats to the winners & the 28 in profit over the 4 days , PL for running comp & @MCLARKE for his collating skills .

Ain’t got no swedes have to be a parsnip I won 😂

I had a 50% win strike rate with my singles this festival which rose to 5 out of 6 winners including Sky's £ back if you lose on Tuesday & today with only Stage Star being a loser & that was a free bet although , I did lose 2 ante post bets but hey , it's just a bit of fun hence my small stakes bets as for multis v singles , each to their own as long as we make a dent in the bookies satchels .

About the only time I'm comfortable being the meat in a Zil/Calva sandwich! The latter no doubt now a pariah in the "singles only" community.
Thanks for running this @Zilzalian, you've made the job your own now! 
I'll have to do all my horse betting on a bus now based on the evidence of today. The stats don't lie, I'm rubbish when sat in front of the laptop and an absolute judge squinting at my phone on public transport.

You wouldn't believe the size of this imaginary trophy i made for this comp which you won and if you look at the no rules and your Champione comment you will know you have now got a very big swede to go with your Kudos so well done.

You're banned if we lose 

Champione , Champione , ole ole ole .
Do I win a hat or something ? 
First festival I've made £ on since Annie Power fell at the last & 1st I've not booked time off work to watch just strategic loo breaks at 8ish & 10ish for bet365 b.o.g. & even money on Ballyburn , State Man & either Facile Vega or Grey Dawning to win with Super Boost .
Roll on Aintree , I've got Thursday & Friday booked off & hoping Henderson's string are fully firing 😉
