After race at Galway Mon, 29th Jul, 2024 (1st)

I thought he was well handicapped because he just hadn't got his act together in his races to this point. I thought if he could get it together today he would be competitive so it's great. He was drawn 21 in Fairyhouse and was four wide the whole way. He learned something the last day and the handicapper left him alone, thankfully, which put him in a position to win today. Hopefully this guy might reappear at the weekend.
