GALWAY FESTIVAL 2017 [JULY 31st -- AUG 6th] -- DAY TWO TUESDAY

DAY TWO
This year's Galway festival is off with a bang, and although we failed to find ourselves a winner on the opening day it is still early days.

So we do have to carry forth a small loss of -5.00pts to level stakes at SP.

The second day is another evening meeting and will begin at 5:20pm with a 2m Novice Hurdle. The feature race tonight being the Colm Quinn BMW sponsored Handicap over a mile and that gets underway at 7.40pm.

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 (NH) and Soft (Flat).


Weather Forecast -- A high of 17C with a chance of a few showers during the course of the evening.
