REECE’S LONGSHOT | Curragh: Saturday’s Each-Way Bet of the Day
A Group 1 winner makes the cut for the each-way selection at the Curragh on Saturday
Mac Swiney – 3.20 Curragh (8/1 – Various)
A top-class runner in the Irish 2,000 Guineas makes up the day’s each-way bet, with a colt from Jim Bolger’s yard potentially holding some value.
Mac Swiney caught the eye as a two-year-old, winning the Group 2 Futurity Stakes over seven furlongs at this course last August before claiming success in the Group 1 Futurity Trophy Stakes at Doncaster on heavy ground.
Sired by 2000 Guineas runner-up and Derby winner New Approach, the colt’s pedigree would suggest his versatility and Bolger is known for his wizardry when it comes to breeding Classic winners.
With the overnight downpour changing the going to heavy at the Curragh, the three-year-old could massively benefit from the tough conditions here.
With a current price of 8/1, Mac Swiney could prove to be huge value in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
