    I like Santa Rossa in the Galway Hurdle, she improving quickly & a big weight hasn’t proved a hinderance in the race.

      I was in that boat too H.F. , i thought 2m 6f was too short a trip for Hewick , already had a small bet for the nash , 2 weeks ago.

        Well , We had a Really Great 3 day's in Galway , I'd highly recommend it .
        arrived on the Tuesday and watched the first day's racing in the Trapper's Tavern .
        which is a couple of miles from the course , great food and Guinness 5 euro's a pint.
        -------------------
        We went to the Racing on wednesday - Galway Plate day and Thur's - Galway Hurdle day.
        We prebooked seats in the Millenium stand , and there was a lounge just below us , Easy to get drink's.- 6 euros a pint..
        After the racing on Wed , we all went down to the main area and watched Nathan Carter . - ( c&w.)
        before heading into Town.
        -------------------
        On thursday it was another singer / performer and again into town afterwards.
        It is Busy in the Town , But there are so many Bar's / Pub's that it's no problem .
        -----------------
        Hundreds of Taxi's , so no problem getting home , but they are really busy pre racing .
        So don't wait too late to get to the course.
        Very Very Well Organised Festival . Very Very Friendly Town . I'd Highly recommend It. .
        -------------------
        P.s . we all had a few winners over the week , so made it all the better..

          Finest Evermore 11/1 into 13/2. Finishing up the arse of the 3 that beat her in that G3 at Leopardstown after 388 days off absolutely entitles her to beat this lot today and I think she’ll go off fav

            Tipped up by Tony Keenan also Charlie, like you I think she must go mega close today and I can't see Willie running her for the sake of it if she's not ready.

              I backed her too, Charlie. Wondered if you'd be on. Good luck!

                  Was down Tuesday, went racing Wednesday and Thursday. I backed the Hewick on Wednesday. I was lucky to see him win in Sandown in April but never backed him ! Great few days . I always enjoy Galway . Great feed in the Park House on all 3 nights . Best steak on the west side .

                  Please god that Wesley Joyce will pull through we must remember him and his family to .

                      Hollow Games in the plate could be interesting

                      Could never have him as a 2 miler last year

                      2m6f should be more his bag and he runs off just 142

                            Think that'll be a non runner and he's going chasing. If you've an opportunity to get out.

                              Well it’s pissed out of the heavens again today just as it has done for the entire month of July

                              The usual good ground Galway horses may get it softer then they like

                                Visionarian in the Plate at 20/1 for me, looks like a step up in trip would suit, form solid enough in behind some good novices last season. Skybet paying 7 places.

                                If Gordon declared Shecouldbeanything for the Galway hurdle I'd be keen on her too, betting would suggest she doesn't get in though.
