Godolphin and trainer Charlie Appleby already this spring have won the English 2000 Guineas with Coroebus and the French 2000 Guineas with Modern Games, and on Saturday at The Curragh they will widely be expected to land the Group 1, $530,000 Irish 2000 Guineas with Native Trail.   Native Trail is an odds-on favorite to land the one-mile fixture and deserves to be the betting-market leader. Unbeaten in four starts at age 2, when he won two Group 1s, Native Trail cruised to victory in his 2022 debut, the April 13 Craven Stakes, and was strongly favored to capture the English 2000 Guineas on April 30 at Newmarket. Native Trail did beat 13 of his 14 rivals in the Guineas, but was defeated three-quarters of a length by his stablemate Coroebus.  :: Want the best bonus in racing?

Code: WINNING Native Trail, a huge colt by Oasis Dream, clearly has displayed elite talent, but its fair to wonder at this stage how much he has improved from age 2 to 3 and, perhaps, just how far Native Trail wants to run. William Buick will take his usual seat aboard Native Trail in the Irish Guineas at the Curragh, where Native Trail was a sharp winner last September in the Group 1 National Stakes.   Native Trail in the Guineas did finish 1 1/2 lengths clear of third-place Luxembourg, one of the favorites for the Derby at Epsom, but both Luxembourg and fourth-place Eydon are colts meant for longer trips than the one-mile Guineas. In the Craven, Native Trail won by 3 1/2 lengths over Claymore, but Claymore returned to finish last of 15 in the French Guineas. Neither has Native Trail’s win the Group 1 Dewhurst last October aged well: Second-place Dubawi Legend subsequently was 10th in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf and last of 15 in the English Guineas; third-place Bayside Boy was 13th in the French Guineas; and fourth-place Berkshire Shadow was fifth in the English Guineas.   :: Serious horseplayers use serious products.

Fourth over very soft ground at Longchamp ending a one-win 2-year-old campaign Oct. 23 in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, Buckaroo was tried over 1 1/4 miles to start his 3-year-old campaign and ran a winning race for 1 1/8 miles. Surging powerfully from the back of the field in the April 2 Ballysax Stakes, Buckaroo took the lead with about a furlong remaining only to be headed at the wire by Tiz Badile, a horse he’d already passed. Tiz Badile has Derby aspirations of his own, and when O’Brien cut Buckaroo back to one mile May 2 in the Tetrarch Stakes, Buckaroo won by four lengths over Irish 2000 Guineas entrant Wexford Native.   The Jim Bolger-trained Wexford Native merits consideration himself. A homebred, Wexford was making just the second start of his career, following a debut victory at Navan, when Buckaroo pulled away from him through the final furlong in the Tetrarch. Bolger won this race just last year with Mac Swiney.   The Curragh course on Thursday was rated “yielding.” Post time for the Guineas, on which you can wager at DRFBets.com, is 10:20 a.m. Eastern.  * The race before the Guineas, the six-furlong Greenland Stakes, brings out a couple of Europe’s best sprinters, Glen Shiel and A Case of You. A Case of You races for the first time since an eye-catching score in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint on March 26 at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai.
