2009 Result

Galway Hurdle hero Bahrain Storm was the toast of Galway tonight after winning this Guinnes Race over a mile and six furlongs in supreme style. It was a fantastic training performance by Paul Flynn who has been a real star of the festival and also for jockey, gary Carroll who has now ridden three winners. Hot favourite was the Dermot Weld trained Universal Truth but he ran poorly to underline a dismal evening for Galway's top trainer. Second home was the unfancied Bashkirov and third was De Valira

  • 1st Bahrain Storm, P Flynn, G Carroll, 3/1
  • 2nd Bashkirov, L Comer, RP Walsh, 20/1
  • 3rd De Valira, J Morrisey, D McDonogh, 14/1
