Curragh classics: Saturday May 18th is a classic day at the Curragh, with both the Irish 1000 and 2000 Guineas being run. The front page of today’s paper has a photo of Giolla Mear, owned by the President, a fancy for the colt’s race. But tipster “Formor” selects Candy Cane and Mick Hurley’s charge is also selected by other tipsters, “Newman” and Dave Baker.

For the 1000 Guineas, the three are split. “Formor” goes for Glad One; “Newman” selects Sovereign; while Baker chooses Rimark.
