Fresh from racking up his 4000th winner on Wednesday evening, Dermot Weld can win his third Irish Derby at the Curragh this weekend.
Derby Double
It’s been a week full of different rumours about which horses would or wouldn’t face the starter and while it is disappointing not to have US Army Ranger, the best price 10/11 with BoyleSports about Harzand will make up for the loss of that head-to-head.
Idaho is a good colt who ran a blinder at Epsom and may have been a shade unlucky on his two runs before that, but Harzand is a top class colt who has a massive constitution to be able to overcome the drama of Derby morning at Epsom and produce a performance to win in the manner he did.
Aside from all the foot issues...
Each-Way Appeal
Red Verdon has been supplemented and will need to be in the first three places to recoup that €100,000 fee for his connections but after a luckless passage at Epsom he can be expected to run a big race and the 10/1 best priced available about Ed Dunlop’s colt will make appeal to each-way players.
Harzand is the standard setter though, he is the Epsom hero who will provide Dermot Weld with his first Derby double.
Recommeded Bet:
Harzand - 5.20 The Curragh
*Prices correct at time of publication.

...the Curragh as a track should suit Harzand better than Epsom and heavy rainfall in Kildare on Friday afternoon certainly won’t have done him any harm at all.
