It was good to see Joseph O’Brian’s Latrobe win the Irish Derby yesterday.  It was a close finish, I did think Saxon Warrior was going to win when he was asked to put the race to bed by jockey Ryan Moore.  In a tight finish, Saxon Warrior  was just not good enough.  Latrobe was given a really cool ride by young Donnacha O’Brian, he is a very good rider.  His time as a flat jockey may be short lived, as he is very tall, and I think he is only 22 !

Another good card today at the Curragh.  Forever Together looked very useful when she won the Epsom Oaks in June.  I don’t think the slight drop back in trip today will be too much of an issue today,  she is is very short in the betting.  I would not be surprised to see her heavily backed, as Michael Tabor and connections love a tilt at the betting ring !

More tomorrow.
