Galway monday.

Sorry about the small m in Monday folks

Citizenship has a nice bit of course form when trained by Ian Williams when second in a good handicap three years ago in an October bog

Encrypted Message-11/4 (pp)is absolutely thrown in(off 80).This dansili gelding raced at Roscommon on his debut over 1m 2f on Good ground finishing a length second to Massiyn with 7 lenghts back to third.Massiyn has subsequently won a handicap of 88 and an unlucky second in a listed race.

Enrypted message was then beaten at odds on at Navan before shedding his maiden tag over an inadequate 7f at Fairyhouse.Tomorrow stepped up to 12f and evountering good ground for first time is chucked in off 80.

oops sorry should read

encountering good ground for first time since debut.

It'll be interesting to see which way the big gambling guns go in the Maiden with O'Briens hands and heels runner up LTO V DKW's unexposed.

Thunder Mountain is a half brother to the winner of the corresponding race last year-Riviera poet.

Earls Quarter was a huge eye-catcher in Dundalk.Has beating of Caim Hill On Wexford run.Big chance if ground continues to dry out.

Morning all, and good luck for the week

in the 6.10 sharp and smart for me at 12/1 lovely draw, runs up with the pace hopefulyy still improving

small bet on jeremy's girl at 20/1 also, if the unexposed horses don't all improve itsanice e/w price

if it stays at 8 runners in the first i'll have dysios e/w, thoughtit would be lot shorter thancurrent price

Seussical ran a race full of promise in Leopardstown,he is well bred being by Galileo draw a slight negative.
I wasn't taken with Line Drummers run in Tipperary neither did I like Thunder Mountains run at the Curragh,Seussical is around 20/1 and with the dead eight looks a great each way bet to me.

Line Drummer got very tender "handling" @ Tipp,the jockey planked himself when he thought he'd have to pass JPOB when his mount hung fire just before the post,should be up to winning this.

Caim Hill & Teach Nua for me.

Sonapour will be at the business end in the first.

Suessical is potentially a horse to follow over a cliff. The dam was brilliant when there was water on the track and could beat anything on her day in those conditions. Wachman's 2yo's can improve dramatically for a run but Wachman doesn't really have a Galway 2yo profile. It's fashionable amongst trainers these days to profess to "hate" the place.

The horse didn't go through the ring so I'm taken by the horse running in Wachman's name: he was either bought privately or perhaps the dam's foal was shared in some kind of breeding arrangement (Wachman's gilded access to Galileo). I'm very interested in Seussical on soft ground for the future.

If there's some support later I may well take an interest but all trends are against him this evening. On second thoughts, I'll wait until sights are lowered albeit I expect lots of improvement to come.

Business as usual at Ballybrit anyway!

Did Sonapour get up alright after that fall?

to be fair that was some ride of a horse that had never jumped a hurdle in public...whos the jockey i wonder......

wildman got that right ....w/d

DK is King.

"8 weeks after having his 'town halls' removed..."

Not since his public dismay at the World Record Speed-Dating attempt at Punchestown 2012 has Ted been in such vocal form!

what where the stall handlers at there

One of them kicked the horse

I love DK,,,,,,,,,,,,but what was Lavery at,will RTE criticise him??

Was just gonna post that.

I hate DK Weld

I wonder will anyone from rte ask Dermot
"Dermot how come you've had about 4 winners from your last 60 odd runners but yet can train 3 out of 4 at Galway "

licenced to get away with murder

Newmanix lives in Galway yet was posting here during the races,strange.
Great crowd great weather great racing but i still managed to lose,seven beaten favourites made it hard going for the punters.I don`t lay when i am at the races and have tried to give it up anyway but didn`t like Line Drummer and having laid the bejaysus out of Silver Concorde in Leopardstown was miffed when they both got beat,typical.

RA, noticeable that Wayne Lordan didnt lay a finger on the Wachman 2yo

I backed the beast and thought he did.

wmfb, I have work commitments
