Galway Races Day Six Tips
Galway Handicap Hurdle Tip
When deciding the outcome of this race, punters should be aware of the following facts, Trainers, Paul Nolan, John Kiely and Pat Hughes have saddled seven of the last eleven races and their representatives in this race must be respected. There has been no favourite win this in at least the 11 years, the shortest odds winner in that time has been the 7/2 about Cloone River when he won in 2004. The 33/1 winner, More Rainbows in 2005 was an unusual price, punters should more realistically be prepared to ignore any horse priced higher than 16/1. The ratings of horses has been a very good indicator and we suggest that you would be better off backing a horse with a rating of between 121-125. Finally look to back horses with good recent form whether it be over hurdles or the flat. Remember that three of the last five winners raced on the flat before taking on the hurdle.
Galway Plate Tip
When deciding who will win the Galway Plate the first thing possibly, to consider this year, are the raiders form across the water. The Galway Plate has become a race with rich pickings and it has attracted the attention of one or two of the UK's top stables. Indeed, the UK's top trainer, Paul NIcholls, sent over Oslot last year who romped home with Ruby Walsh on board and that result could easily be repeated this year. The prize money is now over 250,000 Euros and that may mean an even bigger contingent from the UK. There will be plenty of reports between now and the race itself of horses who have been specifically trained for the race, these reports should be noted and then considered against the ground on the day. Some horses love the mud, others don't but by and large at the Ballybrit course, the going has the word soft in its description. Dermot Weld will also have a runner or two in the race and he will be very keen to stop the Plate from going across the water again this year. It is a must to look out for his entries in the race.
