Galway Races Tips
He did it well. He's still a work in progress and he probably needed the run a bit there with all the hold-ups with the weather,. He did it quite well as he's giving the runner-up 15lb. Chris said he just gave a bit of a heave with him about two-and-a-half down and then got his second wind and ran on. He'll probably go for a Guineas trial somewhere. I'd say he wants fast ground.
