Irish 2000 Guineas Odds

The Irish 2000 Guineas Odds are already showing that it will be another close run thing between Henrythenavigator and New Approach. Early odds make them clear joint favourites at around 7/4 or 2/1 for the race, that takes place at the Curragh on May 24th... The race, like the Newmarket equivalent, is a Group One, run over one mile for three year olds.

Its quite common for Trainers to enter their better horses for both, the Newmarket and Curragh Guineas, indeed, Cockney Rebel achieved the double last year. Other notable double winners have been, Rock of Gibraltar, Tirol and Rodrigo De Triano.

The race will provide Jim Bolger, with the perfect opportunity for his New Approach to gain revenge on Aiden O’Brien’s Henrythenavigator. Bolger was heard to say at the finish of the Newmarket guineas the other day, “Well that’s only Round one,” implying that New Approach will get the better of Henry next time. Bolger is known to want to win the Irish 2000 Guineas as it has eluded him in the past.

Other notable odds include Winker Watson at 8/1, who was withdrawn from Newmarket and Ravens Pass, who shot from the rear of the field to 4th place at Newmarket, represents good value at 10/1.
