    • Good to see. This is tackling public perception head on. Shame NZTR and the likes of the OF haven't shown the same initiative.
    • Well it shouldn't take long to find out. If their predictions are correct, TAB revenue will increase from next month by about $6m a month won't it?

    • Jessica Harrington has provided a positive bulletin on Green Impact ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby and said that success in Sunday's big race would rival any of her exploits to date.  Green Impact is a general 10-1 chance for Irish Derby glory and comes into the race off the back of a confidence-booster in the Glencairn Stakes at Leopardstown after losing a shoe at a vital stage of the 2,000 Guineas on his seasonal return. Harrington said, “These are very important races and ones that are recognised worldwide – just like winning a Champion Chase and Gold Cup in the National Hunt sphere, but winning an Irish Derby would be fantastic. It would very much be top of the list, so I would love to win the Irish Derby.” She added, “I wouldn't say he didn't get the run of the race in the 2,000 Guineas as he travelled into the race great, but when he got down to the dip he went to change his legs and went to go and try to win the race and he then just lost a shoe and got a bit unbalanced and ended up finishing sixth. “At the time I was disappointed but coming out of that race afterwards he was sore and so we gave him a bit of time. The intention was to go to the French Derby but we didn't get there, so we gave him the run in Leopardstown and all roads lead to the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby after that.” The Wootton Bassett colt prepares to tackle a-mile-and-a-half for the first time in a race that could feature the first three home from the Epsom equivalent. “I think he'll benefit for the step up in trip, he won over a mile as a two-year-old and usually if they do that they stay,” added Harrington. “He's by Wootton Bassett and out of a Galileo mare and he's also a very laid-back character and very relaxed and easy to do anything with, so I think he will stay. “It's a big task and everyone looks and sees only 10 runners, but the majority of those 10 runners are quality horses.” Aidan O'Brien's Epsom hero Lambourn is a general 4-1 chance to complete the Derby double while Lazy Griff and Tennessee Stud, who chased home the Derby winner in that order, are also in contention to run at the Curragh.
