Guinness Time Handicap 2011 (1m 100y) - Critic Rocks up another winner for Weld

The unstoppable Dermot Weld machine at the Galway Festival continued as Rock Critic breezed to glory in the Guinness Time Handicap. Pat Smullen held his mount just off the pace, but just as the race got rough, Smullen pulled his mount out and stormed clear from his rivals to win with aplomb.

Casela Park finished second for Jaclyn Tyrrell but could only get within five lengths of the winner, who won at 11/4 favourite.
