Tom in for Nick and we start with the news that legendary trainer Peter Easterby passed away yesterday at the age of 95. HIs younger brother Mick joins the show to bring us some wonderful memories of the time he shared with Peter and we are also joined by racing pundit and Peter's friend Jim McGrath who reflects on his incredible achievements over 46 years. Lee Mottershead is today's key contributor and he adds his voice to the debate of how to revive the Derby. Lee then brings us some Royal Ascot news as Economics misses the PrinceOf Wales's Stakes and he also asks whether Falakeyah will indeed go to this weekend's Diane now Lake Victoria misses the Coronation. We are also joined by Richard Hannon who gives us the latest on Rosallion ahead of the Queen Anne as well as a few others to look forward to. Timeform's Dan Barber gives a Derby / Oaks view and also puts some figures on the career of Peter Easterby. Trainer Willie McCreery is along to tell us about the situation at the Curragh where a gallop has closed due to travellers moving in next-door. Plus it's Tuesday so we go around the bloodstock world with Weatherbys and hear from Juddmonte's Simon Mockridge.

Field Of Gold and Lake Victoria produced devastating performances to become Irish Guineas champions over the weekend. Not surprisingly, they are the first main talking points in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Liam Headd look back at all the top weekend action and debate whether either of the two Classic winners is worth backing now to follow up at Royal Ascot. The panel also asks why the Curragh looked so quiet for the Guineas festival and assess how Los Angeles, Anmaat, Kalpana, White Birch and Sosie fared in Group 1 prizes that whet the appetite for the months ahead. Following the launch of British racing's new national marketing campaign, Maddy, Liam and Lee give their views on what they have seen so far and then wrap up last week's other major news stories, including the BHA's threat to block racecourses from staging fixtures.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, George Gorman, and Andy Newton to preview a stacked two days at The Curragh, Goodwood, Beverley, and Haydock, with a Lucky 15 that pays 1630/1! In the Irish 2000 Guineas, the panel is united in taking on the odds-on favourite — and we explain why Field Of Goldcould be set for redemption under Colin Keane. We also preview the Greenlands Stakes, where an Australian import for Aidan O'Brien makes his Irish debut — but two of the team prefer a sharp-looking 8/1 shot. Over in Britain, we cover six key races, including the Temple Stakes, the Sandy Lane, and two major juvenile tests at Beverley. Then it's back to The Curragh for a massive Sunday featuring the Tattersalls Gold Cup — can Los Angeles turn the tables on White Birch, or is there a party spoiler waiting?And in the Irish 1000 Guineas, we break down strong runners from Aidan O'Brien and Dermot Weld, and three of the team are against the favourite...

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez una mujer llamada Brigida de Kildare nacida en el siglo V en irlanda en el reino de Leinster Su padre era un rey irlandés y su madre una esclava cristiana. Desde joven Brigida mostro una gran devoción religioas y una gran inclinación para ayudar a los necesitados. Cuando fue adulta Brigida decidio consagra su vida a la religión y debido a esto decidio construir un convento en la región de Leinster. En aquel tiempo el rey de Leinster era un hombre conocido por su avaricia y por su paganismo. Pero Brigida sabía que el era el dueño de todos los terrenos que ella podría utilizar para la construcción de su convento. Decidida se presento ante el rey de Leinster y con toda calma le pidió que le donara un terreno. El rey que no era muy afecto a la religión simplemente se negó a la petición y ordeno que retiraran a la mujer de su vista. Cierto día, la Santa tuvo una idea para que este rey escarmentara por su codicia, así que de nuevo  se dirigió al rey solicitándole que le concediera solamente  la tierra que pudiera cubrir su capa. A pesar de sus recelos, el rey cansado de la petición y solamente para zafarse definitivamente de Brigida acepto que le daría el área que la capa de la santa cubriera.La santa pues cito al rey a lo alto de una pequeña colina en la planicie de Curragh en el condado de Kildare. Allí apareció el rey un poco curioso ya que sabía que con el área que ocupara una capa nunca se podría construir un convento.  Allí frente al rey Brigida se quito su capa y la entrego a cuatro asistentes que llevaba consigo. Cada una de las asistentes tomo una punta de la capa y a la orden de Brigida comenzaron a jalar y a caminar en cada una de los puntos cardinales, a medida que las asistentes caminaban la prenda de la que estaba hecha la capa se iba extendiendo y extendiendo aumentando su área con cada minuto que pasaba. El rey asombrado veía como la pequeña capa iba aumentando su tamaño de forma inesperado y veía como otras mujeres se unian a la otras ayudando a tirar más y más la tela de la capa. Allí en medio de la planicie de Curragh la sombra creada por la capa cubria ya casi la mitad del área de aquel amplio terreno y el rey no comprendía como su promesa se convertia en una pesadilla. El rey consternado preguntó a la que luego seria  Santa Brígida qué estaba ocu­rriendo. La Santa le dirigió una de sus miradas más duras y le contestó que estaba cubriendo con su capa todo su territorio, para cas­tigarle por su inmensa mezquindad. El rey sobresaltado se dio cuenta de que el enojo de la Santa podía ser muy peligroso, por lo que accedió a darle una parcela de terreno y a ser más generoso en el futuro.Santa Brígida asintió no sin antes advertirle que si en alguna ocasión volvía a sus antiguos hábitos, le recordaría las virtudes elásticas de su capa.Dicen que fue tanto el impacto que tuvo aquel milagro sobre la vida del rey que este no solo dono el terreno sino que se convirtió al catolicismo.  Y así después de una vida de ayuda a los damnificados Brigida fundo su propio convento desde donde se dice que curaba a los enfermos y llevo a irlanda el catolicismo y se convirtió en santa en el siglo VII y se convirtió en su santa patrona.

Racing in Ireland on Saturday (24th August 2024) is at the Curragh and Killarney. Cross-channel, there are meetings at Goodwood, Newmarket, York, Cartmel, Redcar and Windsor. With his 'Saturday Six,' here's Galway Bay FM's George McDonagh.

Emmet Kennedy is joined by one of the sharpest minds in horse racing, Gavin Lynch, for a live chat at the iconic Curragh. Gavin, known for his astute betting strategies, delves into why he priorities betting over jumps rather than flat racing, and the challenges he faces placing bets with big corporate bookmakers. The conversation heats up as the duo debates whether Cheltenham Festival has started to take its loyal fans for granted, and if there's an excessive focus on the event. The discussion moves to if Ballyburn stick to hurdles and aim for the Champion Hurdle, or should he go chasing? The lads also ponder if legendary trainer Nicky Henderson should be a bit more reserved in his public comments. They compare the strategic approaches of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, reflecting on the key moment that solidified Mullins as the GOAT. As they look ahead to the next season, they speculate on whether Galopin Des Champs can secure a third Gold Cup, and who might pose the biggest threat to his reign. Plus, Gavin shares his wisdom on why backing a horse for two Cheltenham races could be a costly mistake.
