He's one of Smurfit's horses with DK. Won't be much of a price whatever race he's in.

Galway Hurdle and Plate weights were released today. Captain Cee Bee off a mark of 146 in the hurdle - would carry under 11 stone if Overturn runs

Captain cee bee Getting well backed today at Tipp!Geraldines lass is out to win again today in the 5.50 at the Curragh,whether she's good enough is another question,she's done me well anytime ive backed her before so ive had few pound e/w again at 8's!

Nicely done. Would be madness going for the Plate rather than the Hurdle though IMO.

Big race coming up now. Nice e/w price about the Epsom winner but Murtagh had an absolute shocker on the Aga's horse in the last race.

Great ride from Dettori. Still the man for the big occasion.

A bit late with this and I don't know connections personally, but they are horsing into Last Destination, 7:30, Beverley. They say it will win. In from 16/1 to 4/1, so value may be gone at this stage, but for what it's worth ....

Galway encapsulates almost everything that is wrong with Irish racing.

Plot horses not trying all year just for the day out for the owners winning at Galway

Big crowds gathered for Dross whereas Punchestown Curragh etc. have smaller crowds for better racing etc.

I'd say it could be something along them lines..
