THIS Saturday at the Curragh marks one of the track’s most poignant fixtures in the calendar when the Pat Smullen Raceday in aid of Cancer Trials Ireland takes place, coinciding with the Curragh To Curragh Charity Cycle.

On this week’s episode of The Racing Edge Podcast (by The Irish Field), Frances Crowley provides an update on the impact that funds raised in her much-missed husband’s name have been making in medical circles, while looking ahead to the activities upcoming this weekend.

Following a top-class period of racing at York’s Ebor Festival, Mark Boylan is joined by Mark Costello to discuss all the Group 1 action and main talking points from the week.

A sensational five-timer for Dylan Browne McMonagle at the Curragh and top-level prizes in France are also analysed, before the team nominate a horse to follow each.
