A bit unluckiy yesterday when my e.w. nap finished 3rd at 14/1 but a last second withdrawal made it a 7 runner Race.
I am tempted by the beautifully bred Saturn at the Curragh who is making his debut but will go for another debutant Gloucester in the 17.00 as it is a classic Sue Magnier name when she is thinking straight.
Jim Bolger's Finsceal Luas (5.35) is regally bred too. There's not a penny piece for her in the betting though.
Sue has named one Ylang Ylang (cost a cool 1.5 million). I thought at first this was after the Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang but apparently it is an essential oil. So now she is getting her inspiration from what is on her dressing table?
I will also highlight my unlucky loser, after EGS' comment, nap Symbol of Light 10/1 EW 4th (10 runners), but just a 1/4 of a length behind winner Lattam - bunch finish; 2nd Spirit Catcher by a nose, 3rd Alrehb by Short Head, mine 4th by a head - even the 7th was only 1.5 lengths behind the winner!
Ylang Ylang won at 8/13 and is now favorite for The Oaks at 5/1.
Last throw of the June dice............NAP Rhodesia 8.25 The Curragh of Kildare. 18/1 or so as I scrawl.
Nap. Crassus. Curragh 6.40.

Tampa Bay Downs is having its last meeting of the 22/23 season today. With an expected temperature of 35 degrees this afternoon, I won't be going.
Ylang Ylang (see Harry's comment below) in 1he 17:35 at the Curragh,
if she doesn't win then my nap was really Ylang Ylang in the 19:23 at Gulfstream Park.
