DAY FIVE
The fifth day is another evening meeting and will begin at 4:45pm with a 2m Maiden Hurdle. The feature race tonight being the €48,000 Guinness Handicap Hurdle over two mile and six furlongs. At least yesterday we found some winners (and non runners) for JP O'Brien to stop the slide, Mr Dermot Weld is not having as many runners this season at his favourite festival yet is still ahead (albeit by 1pt to SP) and overall we are in front which is nice. Also picked up a number of winners with our alternative selections though we not recording them for the stats.
As mentioned on day one our recent years have focused on the horses from trainer Dermot Weld and we will continue to track his progress this week though we might also offer one or two other selections in particular the feature races if no Weld runner is declared. This season we intend to also follow the success of JP O'Brien who often has a nice priced winner and seems to have taken well to training and has the ability to be as good as his father in time.
Going -- NH Good, Flat Good to Yielding
Weather Forecast -- A high of 23C with plenty of sunshine forecast but also some cloudy in the sky but minor chance of showers, well it is Ireland in summer.
