all, just you looking for attention.Certainly the odds on punters had some Galway,everyone of them won.Before ye jump in the bumper horse was backed at 5/4 hardly anyone would have backed it at odds on,the SP return pretty typical though.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/30319873/the-problem-with-the-flat-races-at-galway?post_id=540771799#540771799Certainly the odds

track itself.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/30319873/the-problem-with-the-flat-races-at-galway?post_id=540758945#540758945The vast majority of flat trainers won't run

and two of the most prominent positions in the ring,they also have four other lesser stalls.The betting looked fair enough to me and unusually for Ladbrokes they were going

bootz.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/30319873/the-problem-with-the-flat-races-at-galway?post_id=540758419#540758419I take your point about the lack of compeditive

in ladbrookes during the week on these races with money back as a free bet if your horse finished 2nd to a Dermot weld winner on any race at galway.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/30319873/the-problem-with-the-flat-races-at-galway?post_id=540758351#540758351I have to say wildman is right about the maiden
