Galway

What a cracking race to kick off the meeting.

We have the talented Le Richebourge, Nesum Dora, Twobelucky and Annum who could be anything.

It would appear Le Richebourge and Nessun Dorma are the most likely to fight out the finish,

JP O'Brien must know how Le Richebourge compares to Treasure Chest who ran 2nd to Nessun Dorma

WPM must know how Nessun Dorma compares to Timi Roli who finished 2nd to Le Richebourge

To me and the bookies it would appear Le Richebourge looks the classier animal but he'll have to jump better in the closing stages than he did last time.

Much will be down to how Ruby rides ND...if he tries to make all he'll be a sitting duck for LR.

If he holds him up and produces him about 2 out he could nick this as his horse looks less likely to be belting one.

No one will get rich betting either of them but a fascinating race to watch and kick of the meeting
It's too hard to split them bit I have a slight preference for JP's

Used post here before, not for a while, Poured rain last night in Galway, lashing this morning when I got up, and there are heavy showers every so often, and I work in the city center.
regards,

No rain since Lunchtime and brightening up but rain expected around 7.00pm

Not Jp as in JP but JP as in JP O'Briens...........turns out the Dorma is giving it a body swerve and I am left with a bet at skimpy odds after deductions.........If this loses there is no justice in the world :0)

[Tanlic]

Pissed up and may I remind you Grassy "You know, I do have a gun in my cubby and I will use it" :0)

Maybe worth noting that Martin has withdrawn The Graduate in the 7.40 so that reserve Sweet Company gets a run. Likely to start favourite. Hope it gets stuffed.

People prefer the York meeting. Goodwood is just too funky, like the July course.

[Euronymous]

It's a funky track right enough, but you get stranger results at York.

Also remember this thread was started a week ago, the Goodwood one was yesterday

[Tanlic]

That could have slight bearing on it but look at the first thing Granger put up..............Galway Plate and Hurdle entries...........surely jumps have always been more popular and get more attention in forums?

know your audience.

bar talk of next years champion hurdle, a few juveniles for next year and the our duke to Denman comparisons this place is like a ghost town mid May to September

[edgt]

That looked a hot bumper; all the way pace and winner did it well.
Same connections as Bargy Lady,Ferbane lads we share a house with at Festival.
Fine fine guys and the best crack imaginable; i am delighted for them.
Winner has fine old style pedigree too, Yeats ex dam by Supreme Leader; next dam by Proverb; next dam by Baragoi who is sister to dam of Gaye Brief, Gaye Chance, Black Humour and all those.

Fair enough, but why the fuss over Galway? The handicap chase is half decent, the rest of it is dross.

God we shall not ask for reason's payment,
The why of heart-breaking strangeness in dreeping hedges
Nor analyse God's breath in common statement.
We have thrown into the dust-bin the clay-minted wages

[granger]

Yeats is doing ok to start off with as a NH sire

[Grey]

Yeats, Kavanagh and a winner called Poet Power. That's Galway.

[loosehead]

Weather god all day, light breeze and a nice bit of sun. A lot of people on about Zippy in the 20.10. I don't know anything about this horse
