Irish 2000 Guineas Tips and Best Bets

It’s hard to see beyond the Godolphin-owned NATIVE TRAIL @ 4/11 with BoyleSports here, who brings the best form into the race after a 3/4 of a length second in the English 2000 Guineas last month.

Believe it or not, the ‘boys in blue’ of Godolphin last won the Irish 2000 Guineas back in 2005 with Dubawi, so will be looking to end a 16 year baron spell. While prior to that their only other win in the race came in 2000 (Bachir).

Before his second in the English 2000 Guineas, this Charlie Appleby-trained colt had won all five starts including the Group One Dewhurst and National Stakes and with the last of those mentioned wins coming at The Curragh, then we even though this track is fine too. It’s hard to find any angles to take him on with.

Best Of The Rest

With a staggering 11 Irish 2000 Guineas wins anything the Aidan O’Brien yard run always has to be respected – they’ve just the one runner this year, Ivy League @ 12/1 with BoyleSports. However, this 3 year-old was last seen running second in the G3 Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago and on that run and in this better race you feel he’ll need to step up.

Trainer Jim Bolger won this 12 months ago and tries again – this time with Wexford Native @ 25/1 with BoyleSports , but is rated 19lbs inferior to Native Trail and was also beaten 4 lengths by another runner – BUCKAROO (e/w) @ 9/2 with BoyleSports – last time here at the Curragh.

Buckaroo, looks to have a live each-way chance though as we know the track suits and this Joseph O’Brien runner has also run well at G1 level in the past when a fair 4th in the Criterium de Saint Cloud in France last October. He can give Native Trail most to think about.

Finally, the only other UK runner in the field, away from Native Trial, is the Andrew Balding-trained Imperial Fighter @ 25/1 with BoyleSports. This 3 year-old has a squeak of picking up some prize money too after a close third in a Listed race at Newcastle last time.

He was also runner-up to this year’s 2000 Guineas winner – Coroebus – at HQ last October (beaten just 2 lengths) and was also only beaten just over 2 lengths in the G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster last term.
