Epic finish, great winner! ECONOMICS strikes in the 2024 Irish Champion Stakes!

- Economics claimed the 2024 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes after a titanic tussle with Auguste Rodin.
The William Haggas-trained colt had impressed when romping away with the Dante at York in May, before following up in the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano at Deauville.
Sent off the 7-4 favourite for his first taste of Group One action, Tom Marquand was content to bide his time from his position drawn widest of all.
He was always travelling powerfully and improving his position with every stride, with Marquand waiting to push the button aboard the strapping chestnut straightening for home.
Long-time front-runner Luxembourg initially proved a tough nut to crack, but the closer the winning post came his Aidan O’Brien-trained stablemate Auguste Rodin proved the main threat to Ecomomics.
Having battled it out with the defending champion in the closing stages, Economics stuck his big white nose out best to claim a thrilling neck victory.
"It didn't look very nice, but he got the job done. I loved his head carriage in the last furlong, he really put his head down," said Haggas.
"I thought the other horse was going to come and beat him, but he beat him.
"I'm really pleased with him and he's coming along nicely. As long as we don't overdo him this year, he's got a big future."

Commentary second to none 👍
Hi Jerry
He commentate like he really loves the racing. Full of emotion we could do with some of his enthusiasm here.
I think the commentator backed Economics.
He's like that with every race. Best commentator bar none.
@@pauldonohoe3646agree Paul adds so much to the experience 🔥
@@pauldonohoe3646I agree but I do think he sometimes forgets to breathe lol
Lol Jerry at his best 😂
So did I lol
"Economics hits the big time!" said the commentator. You could also say that about his sire Night Of Thunder this season.
It’s been a very strong week for Night of Thunder as a sire. Ombudsman and Desert Flower for Godolphin then Economics today.
How's it going count?. Did you back Economics?
@@Funeeman I was on Auguste Rodin, but I had quite a bit on Jan Brueghel in the St Leger. How about you?
@@countbelalucozadeAuguste Rodin in the Champion Stakes and Illinois in the Leger.
@@FuneemanSame. Pain slightly eased by backing them both e/w and an e/w double.
What a race, what a commentary absolutely brilliant. Take a bow all concerned.
I must admit I thought Economics was going to get swallowed up in the last furlong but he thought back well, every credit to his jockey Tom Marquand and his trainer Mr. Haggas.
He's a great commentator especially on the jumps
2:11 ECONOMICS!! You could almost picture Jerry Hannon counting his winnings.
I love racehorses with big white blazes.
I'm not a particular fan of too much white on the face, but I do have a soft spot for four white sock, regardless, Economics is a fine looking horse physically.
@@harddriven1344 ɔike double trigger loved that horse to bits gave everything
Brilliant race , all the horses gave everything but the winner dug a bit deeper , great to see Economics battling it out with some of the legends and winning.
looked green or maybe the ground was too fast
@@paulrichards6894I thought that
I think he be even better next year hes only had 3 runs this year will come on loads and I think he get a mile half no problem he battled and was so strong at the finish
Their have a very very good horse on there hands and have brought him on beauifully this season
Next season I think the sky is the limit
Well done 👍 Tom
Another British win in Ireland this year shows they can do it, should try more often instead of being scared from Aidans horses.
Another flag boy.
@@Eddie36144 what you on about ya waffle
@@Geeezzyy 🙂
Meanwhile we took your St Ledger 😁😁
As an American who could barely understand the commentator's words due to his accent, I loved the excitement for the race he created! ❤
Great race, great call
Great commentator and great race only 2 1/2 lengths between first 6 .
Well done Willie Haggas Top class performance and fair play to the Japanese for sending their guy over 👏
ran a great race....unproven on soft which longchamp might be but his full brother relished soft ground
@@paulrichards6894His Grand Sire won the Arc. Haggas wont send him to the Arc he wont risk him on soft.
@@suemaher5282 sue i was talking about the Japanese horse...i doubt economics will run in an arc
@@suemaher5282 Soumillion???
He had a Japanese jockey. I agree about the ride. He should have come to the outside about 2 furlongs earlier, especially on a 12 furlong horse.
The Irish Champion Stakes certainly serves up thrillers. I took a chance with Auguste Rodin. He gave 100%, but just beaten by a slightly better horse on the day.
I thought he was the very likely winner, quite surprised he was ridden for foot today, but he got there with every chance and just got out battled by the better horse on the day.
@@nightowl7459I was surprised too I think they got there tactics wrong today. Fair play to the winner he was very gutsy
@@robertdelacy3434 Yeah, I was very surprised, especially on Loss Angeles, credit to Auguste Rodin though, he almost pulled off the double unfortunately the winner just seemed to muster up a second kick near the line.
@@nightowl7459 definitely Los Angeles I thought they would of had him up with the pace he ran a great trial for the arc
@@robertdelacy3434 He did run a good Arc trial, I thought the Japanese horse Shin Emperor also ran very well, he's said to be heading for the Arc too, I wouldn't rule out a change of mind from Economics connections and see him also going for it, the trials tomorrow should be interesting.
Japanese horse was unlucky, went for a gap that closed on him, then ran on again after pulling out to the right .
Totally agree he's worth remembering.
@@suemaher5282 He won't be ridiculous in the Arc, and should go on softer ground
@@julienquoniam345 I agree with u
@@julienquoniam345 full brother to sottsass who was 4th in this before winning he Arc. I am backing him.
We learned quite a lot here:
1) Economics is on par w/ City of Troy based on being 3 or 4 clear of Ghostwriter & unthreatened by Los Angeles
2) Auguste Rodin is a middle distance horse despite his big wins at 12 furlongs
3) O'Brien has added a new dimension in the mismanagement of Luxembourg by burning him up on the lead
4) Los Angeles should have been in the St. Leger
12 furlongs is middle distance, and yes Los Angeles would have won the lever.
@@Paulhanratty885 Fair enough on the middle distance; I was incorrectly thinking in North American terms, which ironically 12 furlongs would still be in AR's wheelhouse were he to try for a repeat in the BC Turf
Stopped reading when you said Economics was on a par with City Of Troy 🤦🏻♂️😂
Think you’re wrong with point 1. Los Angeles was getting closer to Economics as the line approached and the finishing margin was only 1 length and three quarter lengths. If that’s over 12 furlongs, Los Angeles might’ve at least matched or even beaten him. When City of Troy beat LA in the derby, he was 6 lengths clear. Plus, COT beat Ghostwriter by twice as far than Economics did today when he got his favoured ground at York.
Good horse but city of troy is a different level economics wudnt get by him city would break his heart
Fantastic win!! Well done 👍
What.A.Race. Where are all the flat is boring experts now? If that race didn't set the pulse racing then horse racing isn't for you. Hopefully most of them turn up for the Arc.
eco→go to BC turf
august rodin→go to japancup
Arc seems worthless for European top horses
The only horse that is seriously aiming to win is Japan's Shin Emperor, which is quite ironic.
Nothing in this anywhere near good enough to win in the arc.
Only one horse winning that Look de Vega
Won’t go near the Arc this year .
flat racing was/ is never ever boring
Looks a great prospect beating the irish in the champion stakes
Some run by the japanese horse some thought he would be last..
@@tomgallagher7870Totaly agree underestimated him Tom he's better than we saw here.
@@suemaher5282 sure was sue.tbh i hadnt a clue about him lol.but was a cracking run
A fantastic race. It just shows if you take time with the horse it can achieve great potential and expose some overrated ones!
My boy Economics, I tipped him as a future superstar from his first race.🐎 🐎 🐎
How r u mate.
Ed Walker wouldn't dare jock off Tom now , he is THE Strongest rider on the planet nobody with more drive and strength to get a result
Great ECONOMICS 🏇🏇🙆♂️
👍👍👍
Jerry hannon yet again with an absolute pearler
I think the commentator backed economics
Ryan Moore completes a great day displaying that he's the best jockey in the world. Don't make me laugh the guys riding today was terrible.
The Japanese horse ran a fantastic race despite racing with its head in the air the whole way
RYAN Moore got caught in traffic..he is better than Economics
That’s your opinion but not others the best horse won even if it hurts your bank book.
Martin Lewis - you really should not have backed Rodin blindly again today because you don't even have an ounce of racing knowledge. Did you lay Shin Emperor for a place too as your 'knowledge' told us he would finish nearer last than first? 🤔
He's gone into hiding again. His comments on AR made me even more confident about Economics and to back Shin Emperor Top 3 Finish.His complete lack of knowledge is making me a fortune. I simply lay what he backs and back what he says had no chance. Great ROI 👍
@@Rebeljustforkicks - nice one, he's back under his rock #CRYING while you are #PRINTING again 👍.
The monster beaten again for the fourth time this year .
@@Rebeljustforkicks Good strategy, what a plonker.
To win a G1 like that on your first go is pretty impressive against some great horses.
Britain got it badly wrong in this race last year and have made amends here with a hard fought win. The one to beat next year if City Of Troy retires.
Easy run for zAGUSTE RODIN, WARM-UP FOR BREEDER'S...❤❤❤
Shin Emperor 8/1 for Arc. Trainer is top man. I've had a little on, great trial for Arc and the step up to 12 should help him. Nice to see Japan win Arc. I think Economics will stick to 10 this year. Great sire, potentially.
Exceptional from a master, he’s gone out there & showed O’Brien a viewing. Up most respect to Mr H. Top Top Trainer
@@thehorseman3538 what do you mean?
@@robertdelacy3434 what don’t you get chief, he’s gone to Obriens back yard & beat all his 4 runners. His tactics didn’t plan out like most thought. Mr H very serious trainer. Always been elite.
@@thehorseman3538 obrien dose it every week chief
I wished Los Angeles would of been close to the front 5f out. Could been a Possible winner.
run a great arc trial
Could say the same for shin emperor got blocked twice but ran on well could have a big arc run in him!
@@c00121314brave brother to sottsass which would give you hope if it comes up soft
Well done to the Haggas team and to Tom on a great win. Coolmore ran four and Economics was just too good,
Could change places tomorrow but still a very good gorse and a great ride enjoyed it😊😊😊
I was there today. Got 9/4, Irish bookies were prepared to lay Economics, he only scraped home, great race and the Leger at Donny wasn't bad either..
should of let COT scoop this one up even with a penalty...then go to longchamp with him then breeders cup. can't believe he's 33/1 for longchamp right now thats insane.
Bad ride by moore we never hear that though got outfoxed there😅😅
😂😂😂
I thought he rode a good race. The race was set up for him. Ghostwriter gave Economics a bump. Economics forced to race wide. AR came with a withering run. He must be a very good horse to fight back like that.
I suppose the only thing that Moore could have done differently is to have waited a bit longer. I think he was shocked not to win.
Shame for White Birch, would have walked it
So much for Auguste Rodin: lovely colt but no monster. A sign of things to come, I fear, for Ballydoyle, but get your cash on Shin Emperor for the Arc
“A sign of things to come for Ballydoyle “....What planet are you living on mate...They are cleaning up again this season..😀
@@WolfeTone66 clearly a reference to City of Troy, my apologies that you were dragging your knuckles at the time and couldn’t work it out
@@simonjones309 ..Sorry if I hurt your feelings, obviously touched a nerve. I’ll give your Arc tip a miss too if that’s ok...😀
@@simonjones309 He was unlucky yesterday but I think u could be right.
@@WolfeTone66 it’s more hurt brain than hurt feelings when it comes to you Aidan fanboys, but no harm done. Enjoy missing out on the biggest races - again 😉
Auguste Rodin will win the BC turf classic hands down
he is the best since frankel
Goodnight Irene 😂
Excuse me? Who did Frankel ever beat? The decent horses he just squeaked past like Nathaniel and Cirrus (who was old)
@@ajvindiesel8517 Excelebration canfordcliffs farhh etc
Jerry Hannon. What an embarrassment.
Los Angeles needs further
Will either win or go close in the Arc
Not many beat Ryan Moore in a finish
He didn't have the best horse this time. It's the horse that wins, not the jockey!
@@user-fd9kq3rc7ccouldn't disagree more, I think if auguste rodin is the perfect example of that
Auguste Rodin had to come wide. Thar was the difference between. ill never know why they run a grandson of Sunday Silence on soft ground, Did those idiots water the ground,
6lb made all the difference i think city off troy would beat the winner easy
Made no difference.
The hockey on luxumberg did too much in front
The Japanese jockey did a terrible job, he waited for a long time to get shin emperor outside, the two horse in front of him are closing to each other, there will never be a gap from that position, when he finally got him outside the horse is still full of run but it's already too late. Shin emperor is a very good horse and could have won if they just got a european jockey to ride him.
Colt by Night of Thunder gives Ballydoyle a thrashing on home ground on gd going. Winning time: 2m 3.20s (fast by 2.20s) data from RP.
Lost by less than a length sweetheart 😂😂😂
A ‘thrashing’ I think not…
@@Martin.Lewis.. I wrote Ballydoyle, not August Rodin. Ballydoyle had 4 good runners, Economics beat them all. I'd call that a thrashing honeybun.
@@anotherblonde half a length win.
#factsarefacts
#nothrashingthere
Another blonde moment there love🤦🏻♂️😂
@@anotherblondeI'd agree with u. The better horse won
Kevin Blake in the mud😂
On that, would have won the Leger
You have to upgrade Economics performance, bad draw, didn't have cover for most of the way.
still looks green
fuck up from obrien as even though he won the leger Los Angeles won have smashed the field at Doncaster
Don't forget Economics has 6lb less on the back than Auguste Rodin. Off level weights, Rodin probably gets by him. Los Angeles was bumped a few times in the home straight. Do better.
Doesn’t work like a handicap.
It’s on age / development.
The lbs diminishes after every month where they fully develop. On average it wouldn’t matter what the weights were down the line if a 3yo and 4yo+ met again.
It's standard WFA, that's what they carry according to their age and time of year.
They are WFA horses, that's why they run in WFA races.
No, economics gets stronger and even better and beats him again no problem.

This commentator should start doing some exercise!He keeps running out of breath in his commentaries
Oh no Los Angeles was never even seen in the race who would have thought it I said it a few times 1m2 too short too fast especially in small fields. Aguste rodin is the same horse just can't find his distance doesn't know if he wants 1m 1m1f 1m4.. horse is lost. Retire him.
why wasn't wayne lordan on LA? that was a poor ride by dylan... look how wide he comes around that bend sure you might aswell go for a cup of tea over there before your back... poor stuff real letdown of a weekend in irish racing the entire thing felt like a breeze up with the wrong horses brought. and not enough of them either.
won at longchamp on soft ground at age 2 and he loved that track and probably excels in soft ground because of his powerful hind legs big strength and stamina i think he wins longchamp or at least places top 4.. If COT goes he wins i would say both of them like one in the same.
Serious horse, he'd have pushed CoT close in the derby I'm sure of it. Unfortunately I'm certain we'll never see the match up.
They didn’t go because they dont believe he stays imo. Deffo not certain to stay coming from a miler.
Economics was superb. The Irish commentator was abysmal as usual.
The man sounds so awful
Pair of idiots
Disagree commentary brilliant
Best commentator bar none.
An embarrassment alright.
have ever heard Graham Goode? If you have then you will understand.
His commentary skill is good but he sounds awful....sometimes you can't even understand what he says
coolmore smacked around in your own irish stakes with 4 of the top horses in like 7 horse field.. i mean top 7 race in the world.... city of troy just sitting around in his peak... enter him yeah then use the other good horses to win those weak grade 3s. Rodin 1m or if 1m2f on fast. LA 1m3 to 1m6 maybe even 2miles. City of troy 1m2 - 1m4. Enter city of troy he wins this easy.
LA wants at least 1m4f he also likes a dig in the ground he wants it a test of strength and heart that's where he excels he likes a gallop not a sprint like this race was turned into, only way he would of got into this race was on soft ground although he was picking up at the end but he wanted at least 2 or 4 more furlongs.. if you can find the big graded handicaps he should go well in them, the more weight required in the race the better... he will hold the weight easier than a rodin or a city of troy.. graded handicaps.... also go to longchamp with this fella. Meet White Birch...
1 more thing... i heard people saying City of troy can't win or run on soft ground or longchamp....and im just sitting here wondering if people are blind or stupid.... horse has 7 races with 6 wins, from those 6 wins 2 came on soft ground 2 came on Good to soft ground 1 on Good and 1 on good to firm. so 4 races where he won on soft goings.... what city of troy doesn't like is a straight track, that's it. He'll run on all the goings including dirt.
