Galway Races Tips
That is a bit of a weight off my back. The second horse is a good horse and it took a good horse to beat him the last day (Ally Cascade beat Urano at Thurles). Maybe Dessie's horse (Bright New Dawn who beat Ned Buntline last time out) is very good but my fellow didn't jump well there and 2m 2f is too far for him. Paul said the ground was a shade soft for him. We think he is a good horse and hopefully he is. He will improve a good bit when he learns to settle and jumps more relaxed. He is still diving a bit at hurdles. He will go for a novice hurdle somewhere now and it's nice to get a win on the board.
