On the advice of a trusted external source, I’ve backed Sohar e/w with BetVictor @ 50/1 for the Cesarewitch.

I see both Paddy Power and Boylesports refunded bets on Wilde Sapphire, fair play to them, but yet again another embarrassment for Irish Racing.
How on earth can they trust that starter to work on a racecourse again?!?!?!"
How trusted? It’s not Ivan Yates, is it?
It’s probably the Voice.
if you are betting this time of year, long shots is the way to go

Another embarrassment for Irish racing alright. Bit of a joke. Tis no wonder they struggle to get new owners into the game with shite like this.

You’d hardly bother your arse sending an older horse to this race anymore, with the impost. Just restrict it to fillies, mares and 3yo colts and be done with it.
Jokeshop

The Arc is the 3rd greatest race in the world mate. It used to be the Aintree National but that’s been so watered down it’s gone off the reservation. The official list is
1 Galway Plate
2 Galway Hurdle
3 Arc
4 Thyestes
5 Pardubice

The Arc is a mickey mouse race for fillies and 3yo French colts that take the summer off, mate.
Surely the Dingle Derby and Kerry National are top five?

What are you on about ? The Lartigue hurdle is one of the biggest races in the equine calendar in Ireland
Listowel IS racing
Limerick folk must be a nervous wreck this morning, waiting to see if Bayan is going to be declared for Sunday.
I hope he does, would be a shame for him to miss such a cracking card.
Not just Limerick, pretty much all of the surrounding counties were also on tenterhooks waiting for the announcement.
And he’s in…
Incredible scenes
AP on Shot from The Hip in the National.
A very decent card, disappointed to be missing it.
