The Irish Field podcastsShow Notes
Karl Burke has become a mainstay in major Irish prizes in recent seasons, and the top trainer joins this week’s episode of The Racing Edge Podcast to discuss his team for Tattersalls Irish Guineas Weekend at the Curragh.
Alparslan, a winner at last year’s Irish Champions Festival, is on course to tackle Gstaad in Saturday’s Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas, while Burke is set to run a long-absent dark horse against a strong Ballydoyle squad in the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas on Sunday.
The Irish Field’s Mark Boylan is joined by Anne Marie Duff and Amy Lynam to talk through the key weekend action from Ireland and Britain, including Royal Ascot Trials Day eye-catchers from Naas and what’s next for Albert Einstein. The team weigh in on a big Grade 1 success for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend at Auteuil on Sunday with Selma De Vary.
Amy Lynam responds to a story in last week’s paper regarding a need to improve racecourse offerings to owners, while the trio also react to reports of horses being moved by Amo Racing from Robson De Aguiar. There is also a preview of the three Group 1 races upcoming at the Curragh this weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
