Day Four Race One

Perfect Pint Beginners Chase 2011 (2m 6f) - Weld continues Ballybrit dominance

Dermot Weld kicked off day four as he left day three with yet another winner at the Galway Festival. Daffern Seal ran his rivals ragged with a classy round of front-running jumping as he won at 11/4 favourite in the Perfect Pint Beginners Chase

Sent to the front early on by Robbie McNamara, the seven-year-old stayed out of the carnage behind and gamely ground his rivals into submission. Traffic Article was staying on in the final furlong but could only get within 5 lengths of the winner.

2009 Result

A somewhat extraordinary race saw WHATEVER NEXT hold on grimly to take the honours in this opener on Day One. Ridden strongly by Davy Russell the winner held on at the end after being prominenet throughout. Second was the fast finishing favourite, CORRICK BRIDGE who at two out seemed well out of the race after two dreadful mistakes. Third was Maucaillou who just ran out of gas up the run in.
