Galway 2018

[Tanlic]

I was doing well util I read Mullins saying Limini would run well........to be fair he said that about all of his but that thing made her look like a tree

In the Plate, the main interest is that the favourite is actually the first reserve. It will be interesting to see if anyone steps aside to give it a run. You'd have thought that Calino D'airy should go well being progressive, carrying less than 11 stone and acting on the track.

I am sure that Giggi will do the right thing and stand down one of their 6 entries.

The weather is the same as yesterday bucketing down. And suppose to be like that for most of the day

 

[archie]

Are you involved with Aramon Archie?

No cl. I hope to get a run from Cadmium, Shanning and Eileen O this week.

 

[loosehead]

Once again, bucketing down in Galway at present

 

[luckyme]

what do you think the ground will be.

soft or heavy

Lovely to see the sun shining for a change this evening.
Pity with all the fine sunny they got two miserable days Wednesday and thursday.
Changing the plate to an evening saw a 397 reduction from last year's paltry 16000 plus ; luckily 26200 plus attended yesterday despite all.
I hope to attend again tomorrow; Bargy Lady being the main attraction.

Interesting piece but there are some pretty low grade handicaps at Galway too - and impossible to find the winner of !

 

[edgt]

Low grade handicaps are the lifeblood of Festivals like Galway for local interest and the chance for a punt.
Last week in Irish Field someone had the idea of having a few 45-65 flat handicaps worth 20K to make proper punting events for smaller units.
