Galway Races Tips
I’m delighted, but I don't agree with optional claimers. Would he have been in the claimer if he was to be claimed? No, he wouldn't. I have taken a chance as has the second and I think the third (Jezzie Bea). We don't have enough claimers, and I don't think we need them (optional claimers) in this country. I need a claimer every week because people will buy our horses, and I believe in them. The rules allowed me in today, so I took a punt because the maidens are so hot. We found his trip and I don't think the handicapper has missed him - he normally has a grasp of them. I'd like to think that's (nursery) where we will aim - aim as low as we are allowed to aim. I think the point of the story today is, I don't agree with optional claimers and I'd like to know who brought them in. I certainly didn't know about them. I don't think we need them in this country.
