WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF
LONGINES IRISH CHAMPIONS WEEKEND
I extend a warm welcome to everyone watching in for the second day
of Longines Irish Champions Weekend at the Curragh this afternoon.
While the very best of racing is taking place this weekend, a vital ingredient
is missing, one that makes a day’s racing in Ireland such a special occasion.
The absence of owners, racecourse members, sponsors and racegoers alike has
been keenly felt since racing resumed after a 10-week break in early June. This
is particularly the case on big and important racing occasions such as Longines
Irish Champions Weekend. It is truly disheartening that we will be running four
Group 1 races, including the final Classic of the season, in front of an empty stand
this afternoon. However that is what we must do in the current circumstances and
many other sectors are suffering just as much, if not more.
Since June 8th, every race meeting in Ireland has been run behind-closed-
doors, meaning that only those working at a fixture may attend. We have
implemented detailed safety procedures which have been well adhered to
by trainers, riders, officials and stable staff. It is important that those in
attendance at Irish race meetings keep following the protocols in place
as they are the basis on which we are permitted to race.
When the time is right and restrictions on gatherings of people
at an outdoor event begin to ease, owners will be our first priority
for a return to the racecourse. It will mean so much to get owners
back to the racecourse to watch their horses compete.
We are conscious too of a great number of people within our industry
that have lost work over the past months in particular bookmakers,
Tote staff, caterers and a multitude of other racecourse service providers.
I look forward to the day that each and every one of you are back on the
racecourse, contributing once again to an industry that we can be proud of.
Finally, I would just like to sympathise with all families who have lost loved
ones in this awful Pandemic and salute the medical staff and frontline
workers who have worked selflessly and heroically so that the rest
of the population may be safe and well.
Míle Buíochas.

WELCOME TO
THE CURRAGH
Where Champions Are Made
Welcome to The Curragh for Day 2 of Longines Irish
Champions Weekend. This festival of racing, now in its
seventh year, has established itself as one on the major events
on the annual calendar. The quality of racing throughout the
whole weekend is outstanding and the meeting deserves its
positioning “Where the Best in the World Meet”. We are
very grateful to Longines for their wonderful support.
I would like to thank all our great sponsors here today.
Sponsors make an invaluable contribution to racing as it
allows us to have excellent prizemoney on offer to support
this quality racing. Comer Group International have
generously sponsored the St. Leger since the inception of
LICW. Luke and Brian Comer have been superb supporters
of the racecourse and we are very grateful to them. I would
also like to say a very big thank you to our other Group 1
sponsors today, Derrinstown Stud, Goffs and Moyglare Stud.
In addition, we have very generous support from Tattersalls
Ireland and the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders
Fund. This has been a very challenging year for all of us and
we need our sponsors more than ever. We are very grateful to
our loyal sponsors for their continued support of
The Curragh.
I would particularly like to thank the owners with runners
here today. With so much quality racing, we have all the
best horses to compete here today. The owners make an
invaluable contribution to racing, we are very grateful to you
for your support and it is regrettable that we can’t have you
here in person. We also miss our members and all our loyal
customers who create great atmosphere in the Curragh, and
we look forward to welcoming them all back as soon as it is
safe to do so.
We are pleased that you will all be able to engage with
Longines Irish Champions Weekend in so many different
ways today. So whether you are watching this afternoon’s
action on TV or through social media, I hope that you
enjoy the occasion. Please make sure to use our new digital

The Handicapper allots ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicapper
to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be
carried by each runner in handicap races, with the handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based
on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a
horse rated 99 (ignoring penalties and allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that
were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicapped races the rating shown is that each
runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change rating, either up or down,
is shown in brackets following the rating.

CURRAGH COMMENT
Romantic Proposal collared Gulliver on the line to take the Scurry spoils here and although she
was a couple of places behind Downforce when fourth in Listed company subsequently, she is
9lb better off. Half Nutz is progressing well, while Treacherous spearheads the British challenge,
but BARANIYA probably has the most potential. Dermot Weld’s filly handled the rise to Listed level
when third over 7f at Naas and is fancied to improve again from the drop to a sprint.
WIN: BARANIYA DANGER: ROMANTIC PROPOSAL
IN THIS RACE LAST YEAR
The Bold Lad always holds form very well, and the race we witnessed last year was no different. Ger Lyons’ Buffer Zone
came out on top under a fine ride by Colin Keane, with subsequent multiple Listed winner and big improver Make A
Challenge a length and three quarters back in second. The form gains a further strong look through the UK raider Gulliver,
who was back in third, with the legendary Gordon Lord Byron, sadly no longer with us, and Curragh regular Blairmayne
back in fourth and fifth respectively. Buffer Zone went to Ayr for the Gold Cup following this race last year but couldn’t
get involved, however he’s shown his class with fine performances in Listed and Group races since the resumption of
racing, notably beaten only half a length into third in the Group 2 Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes.

BOLD LAD
The first race today honours the great Bold Lad. Trained by Paddy Prendergast, Bold Lad began his career in 1966
by winning the Youngsters Stakes in Ireland and was then sent to Royal Ascot to contest the Coventry Stakes at
Royal Ascot in which he defeated a field which included Royal Palace. He won the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster
defeating the previously unbeaten Ribocco, after which Prendergast described him as the best two-year-old he
had ever trained, including Windy City. In September he won the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket. In the Free
Handicap, a ranking of the season’s best juveniles, he was rated three pounds clear of runner-up Royal Palace
giving him Champion honors in Ireland and England.
Bold Lad began his three-year-old campaign with a win in the Tetrarch Stakes at The Curragh in Ireland. Sent
to England, he was the 100/30 joint-favorite with Royal Palace going in to the Classic 2,000 Guineas Stakes at
Newmarket. He finished unplaced behind Royal Palace and Taj Dewan, having been denied a clear run in the closing
stages. Bold Lad then started favourite for the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury but was beaten three-quarters of a
length by the Irish-trained four-year-old Bluerullah. In the last race of his career, ran third to Reform in Ascot’s
St. James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Retired to stud at a fee of 400 guineas, Bold Lad made a “spectacular” start to his breeding career, siring the 1000
Guineas winner Waterloo in his first crop of foals. He also sired the leading sprinters Boldboy and Never So Bold,
the Richmond Stakes winner Persian Bold (sire of Kooyonga) and Ballad Rock, the sire of Chief Singer.

Ballydoyle continuing his winning streak in Ireland and the UK’s biggest
races. His legacy in racing history is secure, so let’s take a look back on
some other legends of the Curragh.
MORNY WING
A British and Irish Champion Flat Jockey,
Morny relocated to Ireland after World War
I and enjoyed a fine time of things, picking
up multiple Championships and riding
record numbers of winners in the Classics,
records which still stand to this day.
Seven wins in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and
Irish St Leger and six in the Irish Derby
highlighted a superb riding career that
spanned from 1914 to 1949.
PAT EDDERY
11-time British Champion Jockey, Pat was
born a stone’s throw from the Curragh,
where he rode many a winner for
Vincent O’Brien.
His association with Sadler’s Wells,
Danehill, El Gran Senor and Dancing Brave
forms part of his great racing legacy, with
the name P. Eddery inscribed on the most
historic aspects of thoroughbred history.
Pat rode during the golden years of racing,
when the likes of Rainbow Quest, El Gran
Senor and Sadler’s Wells all clashed, with his ride on Gundry in the 1975
King George VI Stakes famed as one of racing’s biggest spectacles, a race
he won on Dancing Brave in 1985, beating Irish Derby winner Shahrastani.
VINNIE ROE
It takes a special horse to win four Irish
St Leger’s, a feat which Vinnie Roe
completed in remarkable succession.
Trained by Dermot Weld, the star son
of Definite Article was a stayer for a
generation, winning the Irish St Leger
from 2001 to 2004, with Pat Smullen
on his back and sporting his easily
recognisable sheepskin noseband.
A horse who always gave his all and was
an ever present for an era, he will be
remembered as one of the best stayers
to grace the Curragh.
26MICK KINANE
County Tipperary man Mick won the Irish
Champion Jockey title on 13 occasions,
riding for Dermot Weld, as retained rider to
Ballydoyle and latterly for John Oxx.
A multiple big race winning ride in the
UK too, his finest hour came with his
association with the legendary Sea The
Stars, on whom he won his third Prix de
l’Arc de Triomphe.
He rode three winners of the Irish
Guineas’, two winners of the Irish Derby
and Oaks and landed back-to-back renewals of the Irish St Leger onboard
Vintage Crop in 1993 and 1994. An elite jockey, Mick won everything
there is to win in racing and his 34-year career will stand the test of time
as one of the best jockeys in history.
JOHN OXX
A multi-generational winning trainer, John
trains on the Curragh, making use of the
facilities to land many superb Group wins.
His training marvel is demonstrated
acutely by Sea The Stars, whom he trained
to perfection to be one of the stars of
recent years.
Sinndar landed the Epsom and Irish
Derby’s for the great man, with Azamour
another fine horse who excelled under
Oxx’s watchful eye. His patient, expert
handling of top level talent means John will
always be regarded as one of the best trainers to grace the world of racing.
JOHNNY MURTAGH
Johnny was, and still is, a winner.
One of the greatest big race jockey, his CV
shows that he’s won pretty much every
Group 1 on the planet, including all the
Irish Classics.
Now training in Kildare, Johnny will be
remembered for his moments in the saddle
onboard Sinndar, Mastercraftsman
and Peeping Fawn in Ireland with
successes in the UK highlighted by great
stayer Yeats, Derby winner High Chapparral
and tough filly Soviet Song.
Now training, Johnny has wasted no time adapting to the training game,
training Ebor winner Mutual Regard and enjoying a phenomenal campaign
this season, training Champers Elysees to Listed and Group 3 wins.

31CURRAGH COMMENT
Dermot Weld has won five of the last six renewals of this and relies on Amma Grace and Zawara,
who accounted for the Derby third when opening her account at Naas. However, ONE VOICE has
performed with credit behind Classic winners Love and Fancy Blue the last twice and could now get
her moment in the spotlight. Stablemate Cayenne Pepper is respected dropping back in trip, while
Roger Varian’s raider Gold Wand impressed at York and appears to be on the up. Lemista arrives
unbeaten in four and has to be taken seriously, with Snow Fairy Stakes winner Thundering Nights
and the globetrotting Magic Wand adding further substance to a quality line-up.
WIN: ONE VOICE DANGER: MAGIC WAND
RACE TWO
IN THIS RACE LAST YEAR
The simple fact of this race is that Dermot Weld wins it. The legendary trainer made it four consecutive victories in this
with the win of Tarnawa last year, ridden beautifully by Chris Hayes. Always prominent, Tarnawa demonstrated her
superior class to clear away from the Aidan O’Brien-trained pair of Goddess and Credenza back in second and third. Still
a relatively lightly-raced mare, she couldn’t make an impact on British Champions Day but has returned in fine form in her
one start this season, winning the Give Thanks at Cork, beating a fine filly of Jessica Harrington’s. She looks a filly on the
upgrade for a trainer who excels with these types, and make sure to watch for who Dermot Weld runs in today’s race.
