Irish Champions Weekend

[arsenalfh]

We're in for a cracking weekend of racing over here in Ireland with the much promised battle between Golden Horn and Gleneagles set to take place. The outer course at Leopardstwon which will be used for the Boomerang Mile, Matron Stakes and Champion Stakes was good to firm, good in places this morning and we had a scorcher here in Dublin today (just over 20 degrees :lol). The weather is likely to be similar tomorrow and Thursday so we'll have very quick ground going into Friday before the rain is expected to arrive. However it's not unusual for most of the rain to fall over the west and midlands leaving Dublin relatively dry so we can all remain confident of a clash between the two classic winners.

Looking forward to getting stuck into the cards and attempting to pick some winners. Out of interest how is Irish Champions Weekend perceived in the UK? Will it come close to the hype around the St. Leger meeting at all?

Looks fantastic if all the main players turn up Good to see Cirrus des Aigles there - first run in Ireland ? As to how it's viewed over here I'd say that the Irish St Leger is of little interest and has lost any meaning since it was opened to older horses..........it'll certainly be massively overshadowed by the Doncaster race, which in itself is of little relative importance in the grand scheme of things. The other group one races look fantastic.......the Moyglare and National are viewed as the best two Irish 2yo races and given that Ireland usually wins our Guineas will probably provide the winter favourites for the 1000 and 2000 gns The Matron and Irish Champion are very dependent on who runs.......there's a lot of group one races over that trip for older horses and all the top horses can avoid each other if they want..........this year both races look terrific if the principals turn up
