Equinties - the big Willie show

THE GREATEST WEEKEND OF RACING IS HERE!

Fine. Let’s get this rant over and done with because it’s the big, fat, grey elephant in the room no one is talking about.

It looks like there is only one man in the whole of Ireland who can train a horse!

This two day event is likely going to be work for the Mullins hot pots. If procession’s are your thing, fine, go visit Buckingham Palace - there’s loads there too.

The Dublin Racing Festival certainly isn’t a meeting for serious punting; the prices are terrible (forget big handicaps, you’ll go skint) and you should have no interest in trying to take on the shorties on - there is NO pride in poverty.

X is awash with racing enthusiasts heading off to Dublin, photographing their obligatory pint of Guinness (don’t forget to actually drink it once you've posted it lads!) and tweeting about how much they love this two day-er.

We agree with you - the DRF is a great piss up, but that’s all it is.

Let’s dive in.
