Looks like Coco might get her ground for Irish Champions. The hope is for even more rain and one or two of the favorites scratch out.

Nice comeback today by last year’s Derby winner Adayar in what was more or less a paid workout. Next stop Arc /ChampionsDay / Breeders Cup ?

[1hooper]

Hopefully he runs where Baaeed does.

Trueshan has no luck !

Coco shifted to The Curragh on Sunday.
Easy should run well today at Leopardstown vs the 2 Aga Khan's and a Coolmore.

"Easy should run well today at Leopardstown vs the 2 Aga Khan's and a Coolmore".

That was ugly. And she took a ton of late $$

R2- Think they are overlooking #3- Rhoscolyn (8-1) in here, seems to be rounding into form. Using with #4- Markaz Paname (7-2) on top.

EX- 3,4/1,2,3,4,6,9,16

LEO R3 (9:40am EDT)- 1m Champions Juvenile Stakes (Group 2) (2yo)

www.racingpost.com/racecards/187/leopardstown/2022-09-10/818990

I'll try to beat the O'Brien family tag team with #3- Serious Challenge (5-1) from the Bolger yard. Handled soft going twice, and there may be a tussle for the lead even in this small field, can sit in behind and mow them down.

WIN- 3


LEO R4 (10:10am EDT)- 1m4f Paddy Power Stakes (Group 3) (3yo+)

www.racingpost.com/racecards/187/leopardstown/2022-09-10/819951

#4- Thunder Kiss (4-1) got back on softer ground last time and grabbed third in GI Pretty Polly behind La Petite Coco and My Astra. Using her alone and on top of the two Twomey-trained runners.

WIN- 4  EX- 4/2,3

Cracking Irish Champion Stakes. Aidan O’Brien had the tactics perfectly set up for Luxembourg to beat his French rivals
