Galway Races Tips

I genuinely thought that fourth place was the best we could hope for on ratings,. It was only at ten to ten yesterday that I saw there were only five declared so thought it was worth going. She has to have real quick ground. My wife Pauline gave her a great ride and she was allowed to dictate the pace from the front. After her win three runs back she had two poor fourth placings but the ground had slowed fractionally for her. She'll go back hurdling now. That'll keep the wife happy for a while!
