GALWAY FESTIVAL 2020 [JULY 27th -- AUG 2nd] -- DAY TWO TUESDAY

DAY TWO TUESDAY
This year's Galway festival is off with a bang, Dermot Weld scored our first winner in the opening race and followed it up later so secured him a profit on day one, JP also found a winner but small loss on the opening day for him. The second day is another evening meeting and will begin at 4:45pm with a 7f Fillies Maiden. The feature race tonight being the Colm Quinn BMW sponsored Handicap over a mile and that gets underway at 6.45pm.
As mentioned on day one as per recent seasons we will continue to focus 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. And once again for this season we intend to follow the success of JP O'Brien who often has a nice priced winner and seems to have taken well to training and has the ability to be as good as his father in time.

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