The Galway festival is off with a bang, after the first couple of days results we are going steadily all things considered with Dermot Weld still ahead on +1pts after two days, and JP O'Brien back on -4.045pts for their selections and therefore we are -3.045pts points overall. The third day begins in the early evening again the opening fixtures will begin at 4:45pm with a 2m novice hurdle, but the feature race this afternoon is the Grade A Galway Plate over 2m 6f which will get underway at 7:20pm.
As mentioned on day one our recent years we 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. Also 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 -- NH -- Good ; Flat -- Good to Yielding
Weather Forecast -- A high of 17C with a chance of a few showers later as it has been so far this week.
Surprised by the lack of entries from our two nominated trainers for today, only two selections for JP O'Brien in the feature race today so we'll just cover that one on Wednesday and see what the rest of the week has in store.
6:45 - thetote.com Galway Plate (Handicap Chase) (Grade A)
2m 6f 111y [22 Runners]
JP O'Brien has the only runners for us on Wednesday and all three of them run in the feature contest the Galway Plate. A race worth €120,000.00 to the winner so hopefully one of US AND THEM / MORTAL / EARLY DOORS [WON 7/1] can be successful for us this evening and keep the numbers ticking over. The big yards are multi represented too and Easy Game could be the best option from Willie Mullins, and Galvin likewise from Gordon Elliott.
