Turf Travel I

Ireland 2010

RIP Ela Mana Mou (photo taken jan 08)


On the Road again to see the Irish Derby, and to take the opportunity to visit a couple of Studs, this was the first year we were -sadly- not allowed to visit Istabraq. But nonetheless we have a couple of photos to share:

Both smiling - Galileo & I


A dream - meeting Yeats



A Legend - Sadler´s Wells, who was in very good nick for his age (29)


At Kildangan we saw a couple of lovely fellows - this is Shamardal


Teofilo


Manduro


Echo of Light looks elsewhere


Celine and Raven´s Pass


Having a chat with Devisa, and Celine


Our friend Martin o´Reilly, who even rode Spontano to victory all them years ago, fell on his feet when able to rent this house; we certainly book in here again!


Martins and Claudias dog Henry does his placepot


Racing Day 1 - this is Bob le Beau (middle), a son of Big Bad Bob, who, from very very small first crops, is producing a lot of winners


Seeharn, from Kevin Prendergast´s yard, where Martin rides out, wins the feature race of Day 1, a Listed race for 2-year-old fillies


Wild Wind, Laughing Lashes and Puttore fight out the finish of the opener of Day 2:


The wonderful Chinese White goes down to the start


... and is oh so gutsy in victory, gaining the much deserved Group 1 win on her final career-start when taking the Pretty Polly Stakes.


Horses out for a stroll - this is the field for the Curragh Cup: Profound Beauty on the left, huge dissapointment Saptapadi on the right, and the winner Tactic (in Hamdan-colours) hidden in the middle:


with Ian; still in good mood despite a certain lack of winners


Derby Day - and Glamorous Spirtit takes the Sapphire Stakes under Kieren Fallon, from old favourite Reverence


Formosina takes the Railway Stakes in a driving finish:


Jimmy´s favourite Hawkeyethenoo goes down to the start ...


Eventual Derby Winner Cape Blanco goes down to the Start:


Irish Derby 2010 - towards the finish: Cape Blanco is leading Midas Touch and Jan Vermeer for an Aidan o´Brien 1-2-3::


Crossing the line


And last and least: Cape Blanco sporting the winners rug


We went to see Sea The Stars as well, his new photos are in his own chapter though.
