Tonight’s 5:50 PM race is a two-year-old maiden race held over a distance of 7 furlongs and 86 yards (7½f). That’s right, Roscommon holds the distinction of being the only track to host races at this specific distance so far in the season! This unique opportunity adds another layer of intrigue to the already exciting race.
Following last week’s exhilarating win by Lady O, ridden by jockey Shane Foley and trained by Mrs. Harrington, anticipation is high for another close contest. This race promises a fascinating display of young talent, with a mix of well-bred colts and fillies showcasing their potential on the track.
Tonights races has some interesting prospects
Alumni Lia: Needs a significant improvement after a poor showing in her debut, where she was beaten by a large margin (23 lengths).
Boyne Valley: Showed promise in her first race but hasn’t performed well since. Returning to soft ground might benefit her, and her pedigree suggests stamina won’t be an issue.
Deo Vero: Finished 10 lengths behind the winner on her debut over a shorter distance (6f). The longer trip in today’s race could be more suitable based on her breeding.
Edergole’s Angel: As a yearling (costing 18,000GBP) has the potential for a strong run. It’s worth checking the betting market to see if her odds reflect this potential.
Episodic: A modestly priced yearling (5,000euros) sired by a versatile stallion. Could be a contender based on her pedigree.
Gateway Arch: While her yearling price tag (1,500euros) suggests limited potential, other horses in the race might be more appealing options.
Georg Zhukov: Backed by the champion jockey, this 3,000euros yearling is worth considering based on jockey expertise. Keep an eye on the market activity for this horse.
Green Triangle: An intriguing prospect due to his price tag (40,000euros). Strong performance in the betting market would further solidify his potential.
Highway Sixty One: Well-bred and backed by a significant investment (20,000euros), making him a horse to watch based on market movement.
Petit Fusee: Another horse with a low price tag (1,000euros). There might be better options to consider in this race.
Shocker: Sired by a first season Sire Shaman. His breeding suggests potential, but following the market activity would be wise.
Zaraahmando: Showed improvement in her previous race over the same course and distance, finishing just 8 lengths behind the winner. This suggests she could be a contender today.
