Default Tattersalls Gold Cup & Irish 1000

Thank Gents.

I got paid out at 7/2 as Bet365 pay SP if it's better than the price taken

50pts staked returns 225pts.

I appear not to have updated the totals after Haatef's run in the Duke of York, I blame the night shifts & I've just finished another. I've added it now.

In the Irish 2000 after the three non-runners Henrythenavigator & New Approach both moved up to 4stars.

Actual bets
Wins/Runs 5/11
Stakes 395pts
Returns 1015pts
Profit/Loss +620pts

Tattersalls Gold Cup
10.5f Group1
4yo+

Arch Rebel has 4stars
Duke of Marmalade & Finsceal Beo have 3stars

The two class ones are the 3star pair with Arch Rebel getting 4stars from being third in three categories.
With Finsceal Beo running well below the form that saw her win two of the three major European Guineas & get just pipped in the other this looks like going to Duke of Marmalade. I backed him several times last year but would not be tempted at odds on.

Irish 1000 Guineas
8f Group1

Carribean Sunset has 3stars
Kitty Matcham, Mad About You, Milton of Campsie & Saoirse Abu all have 2stars.

A real muddle of a race with the two market leaders trying to make up for traffic problems in the English 1000.
The 3star horse is in winning form but the stable jockey is on Mad About You who lacks a run.
O'Brien runs five which muddys the water even more. Time for bed

Rio.
