I bet Baltic Bird for this Antepost last year. Got 100’s then and honestly thought he had a chance at those odds. Ended in disappointment when he was a late withdrawal, but he’s shown me enough the last twelve months to go with him again. I’ve taken 50’s just now, but I’ll happily take bigger if I see it.
Metier another that I really like, and seriously considering him
Baltic Bird EW 6Pls/50’s EW
July 28, 2024 at 13:29 #1703079Small ew @ 50s Lord Erskine for me. Trip too short last time but 2m much more up his street.
July 28, 2024 at 15:03 #1703090Where and when is this race?
July 28, 2024 at 17:00 #1703097Lot of Joy for the win at 8-1, and 16-1 ew Metier.
July 28, 2024 at 17:39 #1703101Wilts – Galway tomorrow
July 28, 2024 at 18:23 #1703106Cheers Sarge
I did find out earlier this afters.
July 29, 2024 at 08:58 #1703146Pinot Gris 9s
July 29, 2024 at 10:25 #1703153My initial shortlist was Pinot Gris + Shalak but i’ve missed the price on PG so i’ve left him behind. Marathon not a sprint, especially at Galway.
PG was my main fancy, but i can see Shalak running a good race in this again. However, he was pushed along a lot during the race, and that’s not really the typical Galway type.
I think i’ll back Weston as well as i liked him after Ascot but showed nothing. The trainer doesn’t do bad at Galway and he has ability.
Dads Lad is also technically very well handicapped here, and his recent runs suggest this probably was the plan all along. His maiden win here in 2022 looks great form.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!July 29, 2024 at 17:18 #1703172I went for Metier at 16s and Enfranchise at 12s, both WIN only.
July 29, 2024 at 17:22 #1703173Added Shajak EW at 12s
July 29, 2024 at 17:33 #1703174Pinot Gris is a fairly confident selection for me
July 29, 2024 at 18:32 #1703182The first two home in the 2m½f (2m130y) Easyfix Handicap Hurdle (4yo+ 95-109) had a CD after their name.
In fact, they were the only two horse with a course and distance win. Just saying….. it’s Galway after all.July 29, 2024 at 18:58 #1703186I’ll try Spasiba ew.
July 29, 2024 at 19:11 #1703187Had a late plunge on this
