Galway Races Tips
I don't what happened. We got a bit of luck on our side and we needed it with the way the day started off,. It's going to be ding dong for the week and it just shows what can happen. I don't know what happened to Paul Townend, it all happened that quick. I was standing at the last and when I saw Paul going I wasn't sure if it had been bypassed. It worked out great for me so I can't complain. He's won a Grade 1 now and won at Cheltenham. The Sloans are massive supporters of the yard so I'm delighted for them. If it's like this for the week it'll be interesting anyway!
