Sun’s out and The Curragh is looking glorious.
One day down for the Irish Derby Festival, two more scorchers to go.
With Kisanga winning the SportsJOE Maiden on Friday, the crowds were entertained and drenched in sunshine but, on Saturday, there are eight races ahead for revellers.
In the first three cards of the day, there’s a bit of joy to be had on the betting slip – granted you’re as timid as us and hedge everything you do with a lovely each way, you might – might – be safe enough.
With three each way bets, two quid could return you €110 on Paddy Power.
So we’ve gone with Jessica Harrington and Aidan O’Brien for the first two races of the day and back their racers to come in top three with the favourite Fleet Review in the 14:50 to finish the job.
13:40
Boston Bruin (6/1)
14:15
Dali (5/1)
14:50
Fleet Review (6/4)
Three horses, three races, top three positions . 55/1 with an each way lifeline.
Happy racing!
