Neither. 9l back to the 3rd.
Uradel has had his problems but the best at the weights on the day.

The older I get the better I was.
Maybe but she looked not 100% tuned up in the paddock - fit but not mid March fit !
What a charming course Galway is and what a mixed crowd no sign of that curse of English racecourses the pissed up group of lads in suits
Are you involved with Aramon Archie?
It's very rare these days for me to have a bet at Galway but I got a tracker alert and couldn't not back it.
Saltonstall was my main bet in the Hunt Cup but nothing went right for him. He did too much near the pace on the unfavoured far side. Buick reported after the race that the horse didn't let himself down on the ground but he still did by far the best of the pace-chasers over there. The worry this evening is that this might not be a serious target. I reckon if it is he wins but I'm not sure Whelan would be up if they were serious about this race. His only other entry is a less valuable G3 and I reckon he's at least up to that level. As I say, I can't not back him just in case he is trying so took some 8/1.

Illegitimi non carborundum
To use a non meteorological expression it is piddling in Galway at present and has been all morning. Suppose to clear up in the evening though
I was doing well util I read Mullins saying Limini would run well........to be fair he said that about all of his but that thing made her look like a tree
Formely Fist of Fury
In the Plate, the main interest is that the favourite is actually the first reserve. It will be interesting to see if anyone steps aside to give it a run. You'd have thought that Calino D'airy should go well being progressive, carrying less than 11 stone and acting on the track.
The older I get the better I was.
I am sure that Giggi will do the right thing and stand down one of their 6 entries.
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
The weather is the same as yesterday bucketing down. And suppose to be like that for most of the day
No cl. I hope to get a run from Cadmium, Shanning and Eileen O this week.Originally Posted by chroniclandlord

Lovely to see the sun shining for a change this evening.
Pity with all the fine sunny they got two miserable days Wednesday and thursday.
Changing the plate to an evening saw a 397 reduction from last year's paltry 16000 plus ; luckily 26200 plus attended yesterday despite all.
I hope to attend again tomorrow; Bargy Lady being the main attraction.
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Interesting piece but there are some pretty low grade handicaps at Galway too - and impossible to find the winner of !
Low grade handicaps are the lifeblood of Festivals like Galway for local interest and the chance for a punt.
Last week in Irish Field someone had the idea of having a few 45-65 flat handicaps worth 20K to make proper punting events for smaller units.
