Murtagh sets sights high after unbeaten Curracloe as Curragh Sunday review lands

A busy Sunday 27 September produced fresh talking points from the Curragh, with Racing TV focusing on unbeaten Curracloe and Sporting Life publishing a wider Sunday review. Elsewhere, Racing TV added to its Winless Ones To Watch Jumps series, while a separate off-course incident involving an Irish trainer was reported by Belfast Live.

Curragh: unbeaten Curracloe in the spotlight as Sunday review follows

Racing TV led the Curragh conversation late on Sunday with a piece reporting that Johnny Murtagh is dreaming big with unbeaten Curracloe. The headline places the emphasis firmly on the horse’s unblemished record and the ambition of the trainer, positioning the name as one to keep onside as autumn racing gathers pace.

Sporting Life also turned its attention to the same meeting in a published Sunday review that, by headline, encompassed Curracloe along with Soul Love and the Irish Cesarewitch. With those three elements signposted together, the article frames the day as one with both established narratives and emerging ones, tying an unbeaten horse to a broader look back at key races and performances on the card.

Results coverage for the meeting was also available in the form of a time-specific report from The Sun, which carried a 14:00 Curragh results piece dated Sunday. Without replicating details not contained in the digest, its presence underlines the level of interest in individual races on the programme as the day unfolded.

Jumping horses to note: Racing TV adds five more to Winless Ones To Watch

Away from the Curragh, Racing TV continued its Winless Ones To Watch strand on Sunday afternoon, publishing a new instalment featuring five more Jumps horses to follow. The title suggests an angle built around promise rather than achievement, highlighting horses still seeking a first win but considered worthy of monitoring as their campaigns develop.

For readers tracking National Hunt narratives early, that approach can be valuable in separating raw potential from mere form lines. With Racing TV extending the series again, it signals an editorial view that there are identifiable candidates who may be poised to progress once circumstances, trip, ground or experience align.

Off the track and around the sport: incident report and a Dettori remembrance

Belfast Live reported an off-course incident involving an Irish racing trainer, stating that the trainer was tackled by security staff amid the celebrations of the trainer’s son following an AFL Premiership. The report sits outside the day’s results but will attract attention given the unusual cross-sport setting referenced in the headline.

On a more reflective note, the Irish Mirror published a piece remembering Frankie Dettori’s Magnificent Seven at Ascot, marking 30 years since the achievement. The headline positions it as an anniversary remembrance rather than a new development, but it adds historical colour to the wider racing conversation at the end of the weekend.
