Galway Races Tips
I thought he (Sir Des Champs) looked a bit big in himself in the parade ring today but he has now won the Hennessy and this race so he has won two of the top chases in Ireland. It was a decisive move by Davy (Russell) when he went on . Davy felt that his jumping kept him in the race although the one in front (Long Run) was jumping out a bit to the left and was probably taking them a bit across with him. We'll be back for Cheltenham again next year and hopefully the ground is a bit better then.
