Galway Races Tips
I'm thrilled for David Spratt (winning owner) as he normally has to travel to see his horses run but lives just 20 minutes away from here, in Whitechurch,. Colin (Keane) is riding with great confidence - at one stage he had nowhere to go today but the run will have given him (Ningxai) loads of confidence. No pressure is put on our jockeys and they are never tied down to orders and allowed to go to Plan B.
G M Lyons, trainer
