Bargain-buy Hewick attempts to add Kerry National to big-race haul

Wednesday's Guinness Kerry National at Listowel pales financially compared to this weekend's new big-money pots at the Curragh. The Harvest Festival’s €200,000 feature will see Hewick try to continue his giant-killing exploits against 17 opponents. For the first time since 2009 the Goffs Million is back on Saturday with 24 hopefuls left in Europe's richest two-year-old prize. Aidan O'Brien's Hiawatha will take part in the Group Two Alan Smurfit Beresford Stakes. Friends of the curragg's Irish Cesarewitch is a bumper €600,00 contest run for horses with a maximum official rating of 110.
