We haven’t had a turf runner yet but should have 2 over the weekend. Another late night beckons in Dundalk before then. We have 3 to run. Uncharted runs in the winners of 1 for progeny of stallions with average yearling sales of less than 50k. She fits that category to a tee but is still an outsider. I wanted her to start her year without much hardship and the Dundalk surface allows for that. She has one piece of work done and hopefully she can put tomorrow under her belt and she can build away from there. Given the quality of the race if she were to be competitive we’ll have a nice problem of having to revise plans. Irish Acclaim runs back over 6f 2 races later and it is the usual competitive fare that he has been facing all winter. He travelled well and finished out his race the last night over 7. They may not have gone quick enough for him and while he was possibly last off the bridle the 3 in front of him were not coming back to him. A helter skelter 6 should suit tomorrow and if he keeps running his race he will sneak another couple. Eloso goes in the last and I’m hopeful rather than confident he will manage the drop back in trip. It’s a good race for him given his rating and if he travels for the first half he should finish well. Here’s hoping.
