Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh Sunday

And on Saturday there's the G2 Beresford Stakes.

It's for 2yos over 1600m and this edition has 7 runners with the winner getting an invite to the Kentucky Derby although doubtful if they would take this up as there are big things nearer to home.

Adelaide River, by Australia, is 13/8 for Aidan O'Brien and Wayne Lordon (Ryan Moore on duty in the UK).  Jessica Harrington saddles Pivotal Trigger by Pivotal of course and Shane Foley rides – 7/2, and Roaring Gallagher by Roaring Lion is 9/2 for Joseph O'Brien and Shane Cross.

The winner usually goes on to bigger and better things – the 2021 winner was Luxembourg!

Sunday's Cesarewitch is now down to 30 runners for the 3300m trip.  For info the top four in the market are Waterville 7/2 for Aidan and Wayne Lordon, 7/1 for Earl of Tyrone for Twomey-D King and same quote for Echoes in Rain – W Mullins and Rachael Blackmore and 9/1 for Cleveland – Joseph and Shane Cross.

Joseph also saddles the Irish "Benaud" as distinct from the Aussie Benaud.  The Irish one is by Australia, is a brown gelding 4yo and is 20/1 for this!
