GALWAY FESTIVAL 2016 [JULY 25th -- JULY 31st] -- DAY THREE



DAY THREE


The Galway festival is off with a bang, after the first couple of days results we are a little behind on -5.44pts but It's early days ...  

The third day begins a little earlier than the opening fixtures and will begin at 3:00pm with a 2m maiden hurdle, but the feature race this afternoon is the Grade A Galway Plate over 2m 6f which will get underway at 5:30pm. 

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


Weather Forecast -- A high of 16C with a chance of a few showers later as it has been so far this week.  

DAY THREE SELECTIONS;




3:00 -- SILVER CONCORDE  [2nd 4/7F]

4:45 -- A SHIN KILDARE  [2nd 1/2F]

5:30 -- Now it's time for today's feature event which is the Grade A GALWAY PLATE over 2m 6f+. 

Dermot Weld runs THREE KINGDOMS [10th 25/1] here and is back-able at about 16/1. The race should be a good opportunity for the classy ROAD TO RICHES [Pulled Up] to take and we'll aim to support that one too today

6:40 -- CREME DE LA  [2nd 7/1]  /  THE MOORE FACTOR  [4th 9/2]

7:10 -- NEWCROSS  [2nd 5/4F]

Day Three results;
A bad start when the first couple of short priced favs get turned over, is that the signal for the week I don't know. No joy in the feature race and plenty of large bets went down on the favourite there too the bookies must have the luck of the Irish eh. 

More near misses later on too with Creme De La another 1/2L defeat. It's not our day.

D Weld p/l for the week +/- [-11.44]
Overall week p/l to date +/- [-12.44]



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


Results to update later tonight, and Day Four should be ready by then, not forgetting our other updates this week from the 'Glorious' Goodwood meeting.

Have a great week.
