GALWAY FESTIVAL 2015 [JULY 27th -- AUG 2nd] -- DAY TWO

DAY TWO


The Galway festival is off with a bang, and we nearly broke even on day one with a couple of winners but a tiny loss of 0.25pts to level stakes at SP. 

The second day is another evening meeting and will begin at 5:15pm with a 2m Novice Hurdle. The feature race tonight being the Topaz Handicap over a mile. 

As mentioned on day one 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 -- Yielding
Weather Forecast -- A high of 16C with a chance of a few showers later in the evening.


DAY TWO SELECTIONS;

5:15 -- No Weld horse but we'll have a small wager on THREE STARS in the opener. [2nd 12/1]

5:45 -- WAAHEB [Unseated 6/1]

6:15 -- SIMANNKA [2nd 13/8]

6:50 -- A 14 runner 1m Handicap is the feature race for day two and is named the Topaz Handicap worth 72,000 euro to the winner so worth a second glance

Mr Weld runs STAY DE NIGHT [14th 4/1] here and we'll have that in our list for sure, and we'll try an each way punt on the bottom weight RULER OF FRANCE [8th 25/1] at about 20/1. 

7:20 -- VALAC [9th EVENS]

7:50 -- NORTHERN ROCKED [12th 9/2]

D Weld p/l for week +/- [-5.75 loss]
Overall week p/l to date -- +/- [-7.75 loss]

Summer, Horse Racing, Galway, Irish Women, Guinness = Life IS Good.
