3 days ago | theirishfield.ie | Helen Sharp

Things are going to heat up in Moynalty! On August 10th, the Moynalty Steam Threshing Festival are celebrating their 50th anniversary and will be hosting an international farrier competition. The competition will run throughout the day with open, intermediate and apprentice classes. All horses will be shod hot with hand-made shoes from straight lengths of steel cut to fit the horse’s hoofs according to the judge’s specifications.
WATCH: Delacroix cut to 4/1 (from 8/1) for Epsom Derby after Leopardstown trial

IN a week full of classic trial joy for Ballydoyle, Delacroix put his hat in the ring as potentially the standout Aidan O’Brien contender for the Betfred Derby with a comprehensive success in the Group 3 Cashel Palace Hotel Derby Trial. It was all very straightforward for Wayne Lordan on the 1/3 favourite, who was available to back at a top-priced 8/1 for Epsom glory before this but is now only 4/1 after scoring by two and three quarters of a length.

JOHNNY Feane is working back from the Group 1 Coolmore Matron Stakes with his stable star Vera’s Secret, after the 2024 Irish Champions Festival scorer bossed the Group 3 Al Shira'aa Racing 'Mutamakina' Stakes from the front. Given a canny ride from Seamie Heffernan, the 11/2 winner (from a morning price of 12/1) looks an improved performer as a six-year-old and continued her rise through the ranks with a four-length win over the talented Fiery Lucy.

PARROT MOUTH: Bunny Cox still playing Trix

6 days ago | theirishfield.ie | Mark Costello

IT was heartwarming to see Arthur Moore with an impressive bumper winner at Down Royal on Monday. Those who follow National Hunt breeding will have immediately recognised that the four-year-old Flying Trix hails from a famous family cultivated by the late Bunny Cox, and indeed his father before him, John Cox. By an amazing coincidence LMFM chose last Monday to broadcast a documentary on Bunny Cox.
BREEDING INSIGHTS: Williamson delivers Godolphin another classic winner

6 days ago | theirishfield.ie | Leo Powell

LAST year’s edition of the Arqana Breeze-Up Sale had a remarkable result for Norman and Janet Williamson’s Oak Tree Farm near Athboy, Co Meath. A new European record price for a horse sold at the breeze up sales, €2,300,000, was achieved for a son of Justify (Scat Daddy) that the couple bought the previous September at Keeneland for $150,000. Another son of the Ashford Stud-based sire sold for a million at the sale.

IT possibly comes as a surprise to some that the mighty Godolphin organisation had not won America’s most coveted race, the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby. On Saturday, they put that to right with Sovereignty (Into Mischief). Gaining his third win in six starts, the Godolphin homebred Sovereignty had his maiden success at two on his third outing in the Grade 3 Street Sense Stakes.
