AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY IN IRELAND: And SHAMROCK heads to Naas for his NAP and reflects on the remarkable Busted Tycoon who won three races at the Galway Festival.
There are Bank Holiday cards at Cork and Naas this afternoon.
For me the star at Galway had to be Busted Tycoon who went into the record books at the first horse to win three races at the Galway Festival in the same week.
Successful in effortless style on the Flat on Tuesday night, Tony Martin’s charge had repeated the trick in similar fashion on Saturday and then won again yesterday under Ruby Walsh.
Martin said: “It’s magic, I’m delighted for the people involved with the filly, she’s very tough.
“It’s nice to be part of history. It’s tribute to John and Debbie (Breslin, they are great owners and they give me free hand to do what I want so it’s nice it’s worked out.
“It was vital the way Shane (Shortall) rode her on Saturday that he left enough in reserve for today.
“If you saw her this morning you would never think that she had a race at all. To be honest at the start of the week I was hoping to get two runs into her and never really dreamed that she could win three in a week.
Dangerous to say – but I can’t see that record being beaten for a long time.
There are some interesting newcomers in the opener at Naas but the Johnny Murtagh trained and ridden Gold Peregrine sets a tough standard for them to shoot at.
He was an impressive winner over course and distance last time out and can put his experience to good use here.
2.25 on BETDAQ at the time of writing is much better than I was hoping for.
