Cork Tips, Racecards And Results Today

No races are scheduled for this date.

Yesterday at Cork (Good to Yielding) produced several notable performances, led by Roc Dino, Love Me Tender and Marco Du Seuil. The card was also marked by a number of non-runners and a handful of incidents — including falls and a veterinary report following bleeding — but delivered clear winning displays from the leading trainers.

Raceday summary

Gordon Elliott’s Marco Du Seuil justified favouritism in the opener, cruising clear under Jack Kennedy. Joseph O’Brien’s Cornelienne took the mares’ maiden with a comfortable finish, while Willie Mullins enjoyed a big afternoon with Roc Dino (Listed novice hurdle) and Love Me Tender (Grade 3 novice chase). Henry De Bromhead’s Quantum Quest landed the feature Cork Grand National handicap chase and David Budds’ Crypto Crash provided a strong finish in the concluding handicap hurdle. Several horses were declared unsuitable for the ground or withdrawn, and two runners were reported to the veterinary team after the races.

Key incidents

Pinkarizon was reported to have bled from both nostrils after being pulled up.
I Started A Joke was pulled up and subsequently reported clinically abnormal by the veterinary team.
Falls during the meeting included Afloat, Soldier Power, Who’s Da Goose and Born Braver.
Multiple non-runners/unsuitable-ground declarations affected several races throughout the day.

Racecourse Guide

One of Ireland’s busier tracks, Cork racecourse has around twenty fixtures a year covering both flat and national hunt cards. Situated near Mallow, it is a popular venue within the horse racing community and is known to be a fair test for any horse. Formerly known as “Mallow” racecourse, it was established in 1924 but as is the case in many parts of Ireland, racing has held in the vicinity for hundreds of years. It is a flat, right-handed course of about 1m 4f round and also has a straight sprint track.

Dining, Hospitality & Facilities

For a finer, premium experience there are two options available at Cork – the Premium Level package and the Restaurant Package. The Premium Level Package offers ‘the best views in the house’, with panoramic views of the racecourse from the 3rd floor premium level, as well as a racecard included in the package. The Restaurant Package adds a table for the day in the private restaurant on the top floor of the Grand Stand or Pavilion Stand, with a three course lunch, along with full bar and tote facilities, as well as a viewing balcony overlooking the track.

Tickets

General admission tickets at Cork are sold at an adult rate and a reduced OAP/full-time student rate, and annual membership is also available. For groups of five or more there is a social package, which includes:

Admission
Racecard
€5 Tote Voucher
€5 Food Voucher
Pint voucher

The Effect of the Draw

There is no real draw bias over the shorter trips (5f + 6f), but over 7f there is a strong bias with those drawn higher having an advantage. This is a similar case for trips between 1m – 1m 2f. Over trips of 1m 4f + there is no real bias.
