DAY ONE
The Galway festival is week long feast of racing, across both codes and a good excuse to visit one of the great Irish venues.
The opening day actually doesn't start till the evening with the first race of the meeting due off at 5:15pm. The feature race tonight being the Connacht Hotel Handicap.
Our recent years have focused on the horses from trainer Dermot Weld and we will continue to track his progress this week though we might also offer one or two other selections in particular the feature races if no Weld runner is declared.
Going -- NH - Yielding Flat - Soft
Weather Forecast -- A high of 16C with a chance of a few showers later. Take a mac...
DAY ONE SELECTIONS;
5:15 -- ZAYAFAN [2nd 11/8]
5:45 -- DEFINING YEAR [3rd 5/1]
6:15 -- TRUE SOLITAIRE [WON 6/4]
6:50 -- The feature race of the first evening, a 2m handicap on the flat will always attract the interest of the NH trainers.
Tonight no exception and Willie Mullins will be supported with his pair of White Out / Wood Breizh [4th 12/1] while Jessica Harrington too has a good chance with her consistent dual purpose horse Modem [Won 5/1], but we are sticking with Dermot Weld here who has a great chance of yet another winner with SIERRA SUN. [5th 9/1]
7:20 -- TADAANY [2nd 13/8]
7:50 -- HARASAVA [WON 9/4]
8:20 -- No D Weld runners.
Day One figures -- Just the pair of winners on Day 1 and a few places but sadly a small losing day to kick off week.
D Weld p/l for week loss -0.25pts
Overall week p/l to date loss -0.25pts
