2 for Weld at Wexford at over 15/1
The concluding Borro Mares Flat Race at Wexford was marred by the very serious injury (reportedly a broken knee) sustained by the favourite, Robina Mai, with over two furlongs left to run. As with the opening split of this contest, a well-bred first-timer was left to take the spoils as Unaccompanied's half-sister, Wandering Star brought up a Dermot Weld double (won the first with Tuscan Light) under Jane Mangan.

Ratheniska pleases plenty with her win
Twenty five to one were the odds of reward for a Tom Taaffe winner yesterday, Cherish The Pear at Kilbeggan, a price the trainer described as "ridiculous." Plenty seemed to know that it would be similarly ridiculous to let the stable's Ratheniska go unbacked for division one of the Borro Mares Flat Race at Wexford. She justified the faith of those that backed her from 7/1 into 5/1 in the hands of Nina Carberry.

Annie shows her love for Wexford again
Punters latched on to a previous course winner in Celestial Prospect in the 4.30 and there was some of them alert to the chance of Annie Other (winner of a bumper and a novice chase here previously) in the Owenavarragh (Q.R.) Maiden at Wexford.

Farhh a brilliant winner of the Lockinge
Godolphin's Farhh (10/3) ran out a hugely impressive winner of the Group One JLT Lockinge Stakes at Newbury.

Longshadow a good winner at Wexford
We had a well-bred winner of the Black Point Handicap last year in Time Of My Life and he generated plenty of column inches in the aftermath. The 2013 victor of the near mile and a half contest, Longshadow has an eye-catching pedigree too and whilst subject to nothing like the same gamble as twelve months ago, Patrick Prendergast's scorer didn't go unbacked returning at odds of 4/1.

Takeyourcapoff advertises Elliott’s skill
Jessica Harrington said Takeyourcapoff had "a very good chance" in her column in today's Irish Examiner. The Commonstown Stud-handler also described Charlie Elliott as being "very good value" for his 7Ib claim and how right she was proved as Takeyourcapoff landed the Campile Apprentice Handicap at Wexford under her seventeen-year-old pilot, a native of Skerries, County Dublin.

Celestial back to Wexford to land a punt
"He had form around here, winning a hurdle under my son Conor in October.

Tooreen a winner to treasure for O'Brien
Given the closeness of the quartet on ratings it's not that difficult with hindsight to see why money came for the two outsiders in the Sharon Boland Last Days Of Freedom Rated Race at Wexford.

Wexford suits Tuscan well

Hogan & Blushes foil the gamble
Save My Blushes (13/2 and well-backed himself earlier in the betting shops) foiled the gamble on Rawnaq, as he just got up to win the Tullamore Rugby Club Celebration Day Handicap Hurdle for jockey, trainer Denis Hogan.
