2,000 Guineas Trial (Group 3) 1m, colts and geldings
Quote:
THE betting suggested this was a two-horse race, and so it proved with the odds-on Furner's Green comfortably seeing off second favourite Akeed Wafi in the four-runner 2,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown.
Vault, the Aidan O'Brien-trained stablemate of the winner, led the field at a good clip from Akeed Wafi followed by Furner's Green.

Well l think the simple fact is Ballydoyle have one big derby hope and that is Camelot as most of his other Derby hopes in my mind don't seem good enough.

NOEL FEHILY is facing a prolonged spell on the sidelines after it was revealed he fractured his right leg in three places following the fall from State Of Play in Saturday's John Smith's Grand National.
Fehily underwent surgery on the injured leg on Sunday, although any indication as to how long he will be out of action has yet to be determined.
"He fractured his right leg in three places and has been operated on this morning," Fehily's agent Chris Broad said on Sunday. "I spoke to him yesterday and this morning before he had the operation and, all things considering, he was in good spirits. I wouldn't dream of asking how long he might be out for until we see how the operation has gone."

Lets wish him a speedy recovery as no one likes to get these type of injuries.

Longchamp: Prix de Fontainebleau (Group 3) 1m, 3yo colts
Quote:
DRAGON PULSE (Mikel Delzangles/Gregory Benoist) collared Dabirsim in the final strides on his first start for his new trainer.
It had looked as though Dabirsim would secure a stylish win as he cantered into the lead and jockey Christophe Soumillon took several looks over his right and left shoulders.
But Dabirsim, who was unbeaten as a juvenile, was unable to hold off the late thrust of the winner and may have paid for pulling hard throughout the race.
"I'm not disappointed," said Soumillon, who was riding the dual Group 1 winner for the first time. "The horse was a bit keen in the early stages, and when I took the lead I thought he'd win very easily. When I asked the horse for an effort he was a little short, and put his head in the air. But I'm confident for the Poulains."

Well l think the question to be asked here is does the horse stay a true mile?
