Weekend tips: Wembley can score in 2000 Guineas
CLASSIC CONTENDER: Wembley, far left, was just touched off by stablemate St Mark’s Basillica in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket last October and a return to that form would make him a huge player in today’s Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh.Â
Wembley can prove his Newmarket 2000 Guineas run all wrong by taking the Group 1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas, the highlight of a classy card this afternoon at The Curragh, where, if the meeting survives a morning inspection, conditions are bound to be extremely testing.
It took him four goes to get off the mark in his juvenile season, but he followed up his Roscommon win with a runner-up finish in the National Stakes before running a huge race to push subsequent French 2000 Guineas winner St Mark’s Basilica to three parts of a length in the Dewhurst.
