The greatest party anywhere in the eurozone is almost upon us and whether one deals in euros, sterling, dollars, or the Japanese yen all roads will lead to Ballybrit on Monday next as the seven-day marathon that is the Galway Race Week Festival gets under way shortly after five o clock. With more than fifty races on the menu punters will need to tread carefully through a minefield of tough maximum field handicaps and conditions contests under both Flat and National Hunt rules and with margins tight in all walks of life selective punting is advised.

Thu, Jul 22, 2010
This year’s renewal of the Galway Guinness Hurdle in my opinion lacks real strength in depth among the 47 entries but finding the winner is no easier. With top weight and twice course winner Luska Lad announced a definite runner by his trainer John Hanlon all runners will be able to run off their correct marks.
The early market leader has been the Gordon Elliott trained Dirar, a recent winner on the Flat at Ayr and prior to that he was a good winner of a handicap hurdle at Limerick when he gave plenty of weight and a length and threequarter beating to Banna Man showing himself to be in top form after a layoff but for me he will be found wanting in the jumping department. Having been a gambled on second in last years contest Deutschland who is also engaged in the 'Plate' is well enough treated but he might again find the trip too sharp .
