Burgess Four and Quietly two to take note of

The Laurels final went off well, with a performance befitting a champion, and now the Curraheen wagon rolls on to the Barry’s Tea, which starts in little more than a week. Entries for that stake close next Tuesday, May 19, with the heats four days later.

The 750 last Saturday is difficult to assess, though at least half the field would seem certain to take their chance.

The Laurels final itself is unlikely to have any bearing on the upcoming English Derby, but there were a couple of notable performances on the undercard, which may have relevance to the Wimbledon feature.
