Curragh news Racing begins at the Curragh at 1.55, a race in which Aussie Valentine has been an early market mover. Paul Deegan said of Aussie Valentine in an Irish Field stable tour in early May: "He is a big, weak, backward horse and we have given him a bit of time. "We have gelded him and he looks a backend type. We'll let him find his feet but he does go well and is one that in time will be suited by seven furlongs." At HQ the ground remains good, good to firm places (Round) and good, good to yielding places (Straight). There was no overnight rain.
