Galileo Noir gets off the mark on third start Trainer Noel Meade’s Galileo Noir (11/1) improved on two previous runs to win the Curragh’s Feel The Rush With 1xBet.ie Easter Irish EBF Maiden today, scoring for owner Patrick Sexton and jockey Colin Keane. Unplaced on his Dundalk debut in November, the Saxon Warrior-colt had finished third on his reappearance at Naas last month and today improved to lead two furlongs out, before holding on well to score by a half-length from Glyfada . Meade said “Galileo Noir is a good horse and it’s easier when they are good! At Naas the last day, he arrived into contention going really easy, but blew up and just got tired. “I was a bit worried that the trip (1m1f) might be too far, but they went steady. He has loads of boot and Colin said we could bring him back to a mile, but I’d say a mile-and-a-quarter will suit him well. He has quite a nice pedigree, and he’s a good-looking horse who probably likes that ground as well. “It’s great to win and we’ll just take one day at a time with him. We’ll enjoy that and see where we go from there.” Quotes from Gary Carson
