Oh yeah meant to post this yesterday about a true Irish legend, Brave Inca, now retired, some record... Ten grade ones...

BRAVE INCA, who gained a reputation as one of the toughest horses in training during a glittering career that yielded ten Grade 1 victories, has been retired.

Trainer Colm Murphy said of his stable star on Tuesday afternoon: "All good things must come to an end and while it's always a pity to call it a day it was great to have him around for so long."

The Wexford trainer added: "We always said we'd be quite happy to retire him if he wasn't up to competing at the highest level after what he achieved so far."

Brave Inca, the 2006 Champion Hurdle winner, trailed in last of nine finishers behind Fiveforthree in the Ladbrokes.com World Series Hurdle after disappointing previously in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle when 18th behind Punjabi.

"After discussing it with his owners after Punchestown, the decision has been made to retire him," said Murphy.

Anyone got any fancy for the Derby now after most of the trials have taken place?

I was most impressed by Fame And Glory at Leopardstown myself this weekend. I've heard though that Freemantle is Ballydoyle's great hope for Epsom this year even though he's only one an ordinary maiden at Tipp. Think he's running in the Dante at York on Thursday. Might take a price on him for the Derby before then.

I still think the 2000 Guineas was the best trial run so far and I'd expect both Sea The Stars and Gan Amhras to take the world of beating.

oh the devil is the new horseracing supremo on the gaaboard.com... a little harsh to throw out this sort of abuse - I dont know why you think I am picking other people's selections, I am simply passing on a little word about a few triers in the particular races I have been told about. I am not demanding everyone back what I put up but I cannot argue that I am down a few pound on the basis of a few wrong bets in the last few weeks.

Any tips throwing back at me there devil to recoup my losses?

Never backign another horse of JJ Lambes ever again after the last month, when he laid three horses on to win and they ran like donkeys costing me a few hundred quid in the process. An idiot masquerading as a trainer.
