There's no hotter trainer in the country right now than David Wachman and he can continue his winning streak at the Curragh this evening where Fracas can make it lucky 13 in the feature event.
Fracas is just one of five lining up for the Listed Gallo Family Vineyards Silver Stakes but it looks an ideal opportunity to win his fourth race on a 13th career start.
The five-year-old won his first three races in 2005, including the Sandown Classic Trial and the Derrinstown Trial, only for his classic year to finish with an injury in the Irish Derby.
He looked a light of former times on his return last year but this season has been a different story with good performances behind both Dylan Thomas and Septimus and then Fracas was only six lengths off Notnowcato in the Tattersalls Gold Cup on his last start over this course and distance.
The horse is in good form but it pales next to his trainer who has saddled four winners from just nine runners in the last five days and that included a first and third in Leopardstown's Group Three on Wednesday night.
As well as Fracas, Wachman has Navajo Moon in the fillies mile handicap and the drop down from Group Three class, as well as the quick ground conditions, should help this Gowran maiden winner who is one of five rides for Kieren Fallon this evening.
Fallon will also wear John Magnier's colours in the juvenile maiden but while Séamus Heffernan is on Magna Cum Laude for Aidan O'Brien, Coolmore's number one jockey teams up with the newcomer Juniper Berry from the Cork stable of Newmill's trainer, John Murphy.
Another trainer in double form could be Dermot Weld who gives Hypnotic Vibes just the second start of his career in the concluding mile maiden.
Pat Smullen's mount ran in one of the top maidens of the year last April when an eye-catching fourth behind Mores Wells and Hypnotic Vibes looked a horse of some potential.
Weld will also fancy his chances in the six-furlong maiden where Radical Rave should be able to cope with the drop back from a mile. The colt was a decent fourth to Perpetual Motion at Navan last weekend and he should have come on significantly for that first start of 2007.
