Galway Races Tips
I'm delighted - Martin (Kennelly) only gave him back to me in January with this race in mind and the ground drying out was a big help to him. Johnny gave him a cracking ride and filled him up at the back of the third last and had loads of horse turning for home. This is his Gold Cup and for it all to come together is brilliant. Martin will probably throw him back in the field now but I'd love to race on with him. He was third in Limerick after this race last year and was a bit unlucky. But to be fair I'd take a festival winner over that any day.
