TED VEALE is now clear favourite for the Connacht Hotel (QR) Handicap on the opening day of the Galway festival after attracting support this morning.
Tony Martin's charge has been backed from 7/1 and is now generally a 5/1 shot for the feature event which goes to post at 6.50pm. The trainer/jockey combination of Tony Martin and Steven Clements have won the last two renewals of the €80,000 prize. Modem has also proven popular for the amateur contest and is now best priced 8/1 having been backed from 12/1. Earlier on the card Johannes Vermeer is the one for money in the Claregalwayhotel.ie (C&G) EBF Maiden. Aidan O'Brien's charge was third on his Tipperary debut when sent off an odds-on shot. He appeared second choice on jockey bookings for tonight's race with Joseph O'Brien on newcomer Unicorn but has shortened significantly from 11/2 to 3/1. Dermot Weld saddles the favourite in the seven-furlong contest with True Solitaire best priced 5/4. |

He doesn't seem to be as "lucky" tomorrow 1112,whether right or wrong i thought he was always a bit "lucky" in getting a horse just inside a handicap band,ie 79 in a 50-80 but that is just conjecture.
Two hard looking days to kick off this imo. |

Tis not luck getting them inside that band Pa!!

Eddie O' Connell(Un de Sceaux) looks to have another cracker in Bachasson,very impressive.
The two girls Katie Harrington and Sarah O'Brien got a great kick out of their wins,well done to them. |

Bachasson got favourite backers off to the perfect start at the Galway festival when running out an easy winner of the opening Galway bay hotel & Radisson Novice Hurdle at Ballybrit.
The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was a solid 5/4 shot for the two-mile contest for four-year-olds and moved smoothly into the lead going to the second last. Market rival Zafayan (11/8) was under pressure to go second at the penultimate flight and never looked a danger in the straight. Ruby Walsh asked Bachasson for an effort after the last and he powered clear for a 16-length success. The winner is owned by Edward O'Connell and carries the same colours as super-star chaser Un De Sceaux. Mullins said afterwards:- "This seems to be another lucky purchase. He didn't cost the earth but he's able to go and able to jump. "He won two mile-and-a-half races in France at country tracks rather than metropolitan tracks but they seem to have been lucky again." Asked to compare him with last year's winner Mckinley, a subsequent Grade 1 winner, Mullins added:- "This fella could be better. He has surprised me, he surprised me the day he won in Sligo. I was hoping he might win but it was the manner he won. "It was very unusual for Ruby to do what he did today. With a circuit to go he pulled wide and went up the outside of them all. He felt they weren't going fast enough, had him boxed in, in a pocket and were trying to slow down the pace. "He pulled out went wide and he raced the whole way up the back, into the straight and up the straight again. That's a fair performance from any horse I think. "He took no prisoners but that's the kind of confidence he was giving Ruby to be able to do that. "We'll look for a nice novice for him now." Walsh said:- "I thought we were going quite steady over the first couple of hurdles. Robbie had me in a pocket and I couldn't quite get out. I had to cut back behind him and come around him and then put a bit of pace into the race. "We were going quite slow. I thought walking it it was only good to yielding for jumping and that's how it rode on my horse so I was anxious to be stepping on the pace a bit. "He's a AQPS bumper winner in France and has plenty of stamina in his pedigree. I don't know how good of a race it was but he's two from two and can't do anymore. "I don't think he was the dearest horse and he's an exciting horse to own." |

Early days and realise i could end up looking a big eejit but Mr Welds almost invincible flow of winners won't happen this year,has been a bit disappointing so far(2 days). Seems this year a fairly marked shift away from his "Cheltenham" and given what he has this season it's right.

A long shot but could W. Mullins steal Dermot's "crown"? Wouldn't expect DW to draw a blank with his 3 shorties today but if only 1 obliges the 1.01 before the start could be shakey despite relatively few entries left for WM.
|
|
By:
DKW usually has the bulk of winners early in week. WPM be short fav now.
|
|
By:
Would still be very much with DK. Have had a look at remaining three cards and expect at least five winners for the yard by close of business.
|
|
By:
Just read there that it works on some silly points system ie 5 points for a win and 3 for 2nd,1 for 3rd and not most winners, DW has a good chance of retaining it yet on that basis even though WM has twice as many winners of now.

carnt see weld winning now..its just not his week..but tbf lots of placed horses..(including the 4 I backed)

Huge drift on his one in the bumper 1.5-2.3, surely based on the way things are going for him.

Weld leads mullins 52 to 48 on that points system going into sunday .... A few lads i know backed Mullins with powers on Monday morning at 16s to be leading trainer ..... One of them is adamant that powers are paying out on most number of wins as he asked the girl in the shop to check with head office .... Do any of ye know is this true ????????? 7 - 5 to mullins then

Hello Dingle, hope you're well.
The link where i saw it and i was surprised when i did. www.galwayraces.com/owners-trainers-information/leading-trainer-award/ Looks very clear unfortunately and other than the bumper Mullins will be lucky to get points tomorrow,i would be surprised if the books even knew the rules myself as there wasn't any need due to it being a one horse race for so many years. |
|
By:
howya lapsy ... got confirmed there by powers ... as penhead says all that backed mullins at 16 s will get paid if he ends up with the most winners .... Key is the first race tomorrow if weld doesn t win it with Defining year it will probably be all over
|
|
By:
It is right too Dingle as it is the natural assumption,Dermot can have the years supply of horse wormer.
|
|
By:
I thought it was going to be decided on how much pink dye that you put in your hair, and I had a big lump on Dermot. He has it in with 20 years so he was hardly going to get beat this year . The rain wouldn't have helped as it may have caused the pink stuff to run down his face.

Barry Geraghty faces at least two months on the sidelines after breaking his right arm in a fall at Market Rasen. "Barry has a fractured right humerus. He'll be coming home tomorrow and will see a specialist on Monday with a view to whether he requires surgery or not for it," said the Irish Turf Club's senior medical officer, Dr Adrian McGoldrick.
"He'll be out for two to three months with that." The first big meeting Geraghty will miss will be the seven-day Galway Festival that starts on Monday week. |
