Let's get chatting !

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 !
