DAY FIVE


The fifth day is another evening meeting and will begin at 5:10pm with a 2m Handicap Hurdle. The feature race tonight being the éu60k Guinness Handicap over a mile and half (well almost). 

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 18C with plenty of sunshine forecast. 

DAY FIVE SELECTIONS;

6:50 -- The feature race for Friday is the 1m 3f 180yds GUINNESS Handicap. Dermot Weld has SHOW COURT in this who was runner up in the same event last year so should know what is needed to go one better tonight. [7th 7/1]

Day Five Figures -- looking at a 5pt loss tonight, favs getting beat and winners hard to find, just got the weekend ahead to put this right. It's the first year in a long time that this festival has performed so badly, perhaps the master's spell is waning.


D Weld p/l for week +/- currently [-17.5pts]
Overall week p/l to date -- +/- currently [-21.5pts]

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

Day Six [Saturday] is about to be published and we hope that the weekend can make the figures look a little better. At least Goodwood has been better this year, and we've updated that meeting too already for it's finale.

Still enjoying this excellent week of racing.
