I can't really afford to take a flight to Ireland to see one horse (although it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if I did). Brock might go

The race is 8.00pm GMT, so 3.00pm Eastern time.

the black numbers are the Irish handicappers Official ratings for each horse in the race. of the 3 that dont have one, 2 are trained in Britain so the Irish handicapper wouldnt have any rating for them. The other one, Zulu Chief has only run twice and in most cases, you need to run 3 times for the handicapper to give you a rating..

He should have a rating though, because he's won a race. Or at least that's how the handicapping system works here. Three runs or as soon as they have won a race. Hence why first time out winners are eligable to run in handicaps.

im not too sure if that happens in ireland though. I believe you can request a rating from the handicapper before 3 runs, maybe APOB should do that with Zulu. he'd be a certainty off say 100 wouldnt he?

He doesn't run tomorrow. I'm guessing it's because the ground is very firm at the moment. He has many entries for forthcoming races, but none of them are before August.

None of them certain to get a race tomorrow now. The Curragh are inspecting and if they have had the rain we are getting this second....... the card looks unlikely to go ahead

The result doesn't really tell the story. The race was run in an abolute bog, and right from the start you could see that Zulu Chief hated it. To be fair, he travelled well and was the last to come under any serious pressure. He wasn't given a hard race and he is definitley the horse to take out of this race.

On fast ground he still has the potential to be very good.

Why do they keep running him on this type of ground? If they really thought as much as they say they do of him, surely they wouldn't keep risking him on such bad ground?
