PAT SMULLEN RACE DAY

IN AID OF

Turning Ireland into a global leader for pancreatic research:

with pancreatic cancer. Thanks to you, we have opened four trials already –with more to come, as Professor Grainne O’Kane explains.

We are so grateful, and humbled, by your support –what you have done, are doing, and will keep doing.

Professor O’Kane has big plans for the future. We want to help her make them happen.”

“Since 2019, you have helped raise over €4m for pancreatic cancer trials – and €1m of that came from this event, over the past five years - the Race Day, the Charity Cycle, and more recently the Charity Race.

As you will see, your efforts and generosity are making a real, tangible difference for people who get diagnosed

What’s happening next?

Thanks to you, there has been increased awareness in Ireland year after year of pancreatic cancer. This is really important because this means that patients are getting to their family doctors earlier and are getting into the hospital system early to receive treatment early.

There is clear, strong need to detect this cancer earlier, and there are a number of ways that we can do this.

First, we are about to embark upon a screening program for patients who are at risk of developing pancreatic cancer. This is really key because this means that we are able to detect this cancer earlier in a group of people who are more predisposed to it.

Second, we’re aiming to test all patients who are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to see if they have certain hereditary mutations. If we can test for these, it has two important consequences: 1) because there are other family members that might need to be tested and therefore screened for pancreas – and other – cancers. 2) if we know that you have a specific hereditary mutation or a gene that predisposes you to this cancer, this can really help us deliver a very personalised approach to your care.

But even with increased awareness of the disease, we know that patients with pancreatic cancer often present with cancers that cannot be removed by surgery. This is where researchers like to see new therapies to patients, so in the new year, we are set to open at least two clinical trials targeting specific mutations in the tumour to help provide a precision oncology approach.

It is a very exciting time for global researchers who are studying this disease, because we are developing new drugs that can really target the most common mutations in pancreatic cancer, and I am very confident that the programmes and trials I mentioned above will help improve the lives of pancreatic cancer patients in Ireland in the near future.

The Handicapper allots ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicapper to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

CURRAGH COMMENT

HAWK MOUNTAIN is from a top Coolmore family and although he needs to improve from his introduction, his trainer has absolutely dominated this race By Wootton Bassett and out of a dual Group 1 winner, he was well held in a smart maiden here three weeks ago but finished nicely and should benefit from the extra furlong. His stablemate Port Of Spain finished just half a length behind him on debut so has to be feared. Perisher was beaten by a more experienced Ballydoyle representative on his Galway debut and should benefit from that.

WIN: HAWK MOUNTAIN

CURRAGH COMMENT

CURRAGH COMMENT

MISSION CENTRAL bolted up by eight lengths in a big-field C&D maiden earlier this month and can develop into a high-class performer A 625,000gns yearling purchase and out of an unraced sister to a Group 1 winner, he was green on his Dundalk debut but, having been gelded subsequently, was thoroughly professional in routing his rivals 21 days ago He should readily cope with the step up in grade. Ipanema Queen won a recent course Listed contest over 5f, but is vulnerable to an exciting type. Mushaffar won a median sires maiden on his introduction here, but steps up to a much higher level. WIN: MISSION CENTRAL DANGER: Ipanema Queen

CURRAGH COMMENT

RED LETTER has shown smart ability and might reverse June form with Barnavara. Although only seventh in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, she bounced back with a useful effort behind Barnavara at Navan and showed an ability to handle soft ground when scoring at Killarney last month, where she also settled better She is 3lb better off with Barnavara and although that rival won her maiden on soft, she would prefer good ground. Snellen’s connections will certainly have an eye on the weather charts because any softening of the ground would scupper her chances. Azada has cheekpieces applied and has recent form in similar races.

WIN: RED LETTER

DANGER: Barnavara

CURRAGH COMMENT

Galway winner WHICH WOLF WINS may be able to strike again here The Holy Roman Emperor colt was a good winner over this trip at Ballybrit before a solid effort to finish seventh in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas earlier this month. He was close behind some higher rated rivals and his mark of 81 looks fair Nazario makes his nursery debut after three solid runs in maidens and could be the danger Oh Cecelia has made little impression in better company in two starts since winning her maiden. She could get closer now in a handicap off this mark.

CURRAGH COMMENT

Another wide-open renewal and PINK OXALIS may be worth a shot off a nice weight. The Stephen Thorne-trained filly was a convincing winner here last month and got a 9lb hike for that performance She didn’t help herself by missing the kick in Galway last time but ran a nice race in the circumstances to finish fourth off this mark. There could be a nice prize in her now back here Ryan Moore is an eye-catching booking for raider Godwinson and he commands the utmost respect. Genuine Article bossed things from the front at Galway last time and is another for the shortlist, despite a 10lb rise for that victory.

WIN: PINK OXALIS

CURRAGH COMMENT

UNDEFEATABLE won well at Sligo earlier in the month and may be able to follow up off a 5lb higher mark. The form of that race got a boost at Naas last Sunday when the runner-up, Pinmoney, scored and Nicola Burns is a positive booking in this apprentice contest now Carrigans Grove has been very consistent but has crept up the handicap as a result. She should run her race again. Send Harry was a couple of lengths behind Carrigans Grove when the pair filled the placings behind Nezeeh here a fortnight ago He is now 3lb better off and also has to come into calculations.

WIN: UNDEFEATABLE

DANGER: Carrigans Grove

CONCERNED ABOUTYOUR GAMBLING? YOUR

HORSEWELFARE-APRIORITY

At every race meeting there are 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 an injury 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 race goers 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

CURRAGH COMMENT

The 90-rated MO GHILLE MAR looks the pick at the weights here The Zoffany filly ran a solid race in handicap company at Killarney last time and despite being eased a couple of pounds is still top rated here Mordor was no match for easy winner Kyle of Lochalsh over in Goodwood at the start of the month but it was still a solid effort in second. He is rated 88 but does have to give the filly 5lb Jungle Cove is a regular in these types of races and could be place material.

WIN: MO GHILLE MAR
