Weekly Eye Catchers


Hi Reader

We had some cracking runs by top class horses over the past week.

You don't need me to tell you that Final Demand, Kopek Des Borders, Lulamba, Grey Dawning, Gaelic Warrior & Fact To File ran massive races.

For this weekly email, I try my best to pick out a couple of horses that might have escaped your attention.

Check out eye catchers for this week below:

Meetmebythesea

Meetmebythesea - 1st in 2.00 Wetherby 15/11/25

Meetmebythesea won on his first chase start for Ben Pauling. He is a horse I really like as he knows how to win. JP McManus purchased him following his second in an Irish point to point on heavy ground at Monksgrange. It is to the horse's credit that he won three times over hurdles at two miles.

In March, Meetmybytheseas looked the winner in the EBF Novices' Handicap Hurdle Final at Sandown over two and a half miles. He jumped to the front only to tire near the line. It was a cracking run for a five year old. He showed his class to win over a mile and seven furlongs at Wetherby on soft ground. A fine big chasing type, it is obvious that Meetmebythesea will be seen to best effect when upped in distance to two and a half miles plus.

Kurasso Blue

Kurasso Blue - 2nd in 11.45 Thurles 20/11/25

Gordon Elliott has wasted no time in sending Kurasso Blue over fences. This four year old French Bred ran twice over hurdles last spring time. He won on his second run over two miles at Limerick. On this third run in Ireland, Kurasso Blue impressed me by how well he jumped to finish a close second to the more experienced winner Eagle Fang at Thurles.

Kurasso Blue enjoys a pull at the weights until the New Year so I expect we will see him run over the Christmas period. The way he finished off his race at Thurles it is easy to see him tackle three miles for the first time. Kurasso Blue is a big chasing sort that can progress over the season into a graded class novice chaser.
