A delayed update on today’s runner. It didn’t look likely we’d be here yesterday morning. When Gordon Elliott’s runner was withdrawn we were able to take our chance. To get stall 4 and Lisa O’Neill was something of a result and after throwing in a few plaits we were on the road. It’s a seriously competitive race but being a €100k Galway handicap that’s not a huge surprise. Our lad has been terrific since we have got him but if he maintains his flat form it won’t be good enough. We’re hopeful the extra distance will bring about improvement. He loves to gallop and 12 furlongs on quick ground is top speed for him so the slightly easier tempo should be right up his alley. It’s dream stuff so far with him. Hopefully it continues…..
