Galway Races Tips

I've liked him all along and he is tough. Davy (Condon) wasn't happy over the first three hurdles and said he didn't seem to handle the track. It was only late on that he put things together and he may be better going right handed. he is ground dependent and while he handles soft ground against Flat horses, it would be different were he to race against winter horses on soft. He'll stay going as long as the ground stays good.
