Galway Races Tips
I wasn't expecting him to beat the favourite carrying that weight but he did it very well,. The bit of rain actually helped as he needs a bit of ease in the ground. He has a couple of entries for Leopardstown and we'll see how he comes out of the race. Mark gave him a great ride. He took his time, they went a good gallop so they came back to him. I'm delighted as I wasn't expecting to beat the favourite giving him a stone, that's a lot of weight and the second horse is a good horse. They pulled away from the rest as well. He's a good horse I think.
