Horse Welfare A Priority

At every race meeting there are minimum of two 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 a casualty 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 racegoers 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. The Association of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRCVS)

RACE 2 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Not many of these make any appeal, and it offers an excellent chance for FORZA MAGICO to go one better than at Navan in July. He could be tested by the once-raced Otsana whose pedigree indicates she might not be inconvenienced by this drop in trip after making her debut in a 7f maiden. Osterode can compete for a share of the money. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

Slight preference, however, is for Galway second WHOSINTERVIEWINWHO, who was having his third start at Ballybrit but still looks to have more to offer. Barrier trial second Rosiliane is worth a market check, as is Gavin Cromwell’s debutant Postponing Reality. [Alan Hewison]

RACE 5 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Recent winners occupy the top three positions in the handicap. The versatile RAGMANS CORNER is tipped to supplement his Killarney conditions race win at the main expense of narrow Leopardstown handicap scorer Boxing Great. Trubshaw, raised 8lb for his Killarney success, may be too high now. Gangster Granny has been in fine form over hurdles. Happy Jacky and Alba Chiara are previous winners of this race and should not be ruled out. [Alan

RACE 6 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT A chance is taken on the fitness of last year’s winner AREANA repeating the feat under Jessica O’Gorman, the combination having prefaced last year’s win with a comeback success at Naas. Sweet Baby Zou is a threat back up in trip, while Lough Leane will also be if staying the trip. Darkdeserthighway needs luck in running, but is respected and has a nice turn around in the weights with Hexagonal on recent Roscommon claiming form. [Alan Hewison] Source:

RACE 7 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Last year’s winner Maxwell Smart looks to have been primed for a repeat win, but may not be able to reverse last week’s Navan defeat to Miss Australie. The pair, however, could be usurped by the less exposed 3yo FLAGSTONE LADY, who came from way back to finish third at Roscommon on Monday and has Reese Holohan’s valuable 7lb claim.

RACE 8 PREDICTOR

RACE VERDICT Mystic Rose will have her supporters after a staying on fifth at Navan last week and has definite claims off a 2lb lower mark. However, there could be more upside in CONNECTEO, dropped slightly in trip and with cheekpieces fitted. Tassarolo has claims too, as does Charlie Brown, while the market may prove the best guide for Billy Lee’s mount Spy. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post
