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

DAY FOUR

Good news and Bad news. 
First of all congratulations go to all connections of Galway Plate winner Shanahan's Turn. Sadly we lost one of the real greats of the sporting world RIP "The Voice of Racing" Sir Peter O'Sullevan who passed away on Wednesday aged 97.

But we must move on to our fourth day which will begin in the afternoon at 1:50pm with a 2m 6f Beginners Chase. The feature race today, and indeed for the week, is the Grade A Galway Hurdle over a two mile, and is worth over 180,000 euro's to the winner. 

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 -- NH -- Good, Flat -- Yielding, Yielding to soft.
Weather Forecast -- A high of 19C with the overall outlook of sunshine so have a good afternoon.

4:05 -- GRECIAN TIGER [3rd 10/1]

4:45 -- Today's big race the Galway Hurdle, Dermot Weld runs HISAABAAT who doesn't seem to have the form in the book to be a big player despite winning on the flat recently. Priced up at 16/1 so maybe a small EW play. [16th 20/1]

It's not an easy race to win off top weight but you would take Willie Mullins / Ruby Walsh to give it a good go with DIAKALI
[13th 4/1]

5:25 -- MAGIC KITTEN [18th 5/1]


Day Four Figures -- A few places the best we could do but a bad day with a loss of 6 points to add. 

D Weld p/l for week +/- [-12.50pts down]
Overall week p/l to date -- +/- [-16.50 down]

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