Goodwood & Galway selections Thursday 31st July I am going in early for just the one race, the opening contest at Goodwood on Thursday. Meanwhile at Galway it is time for the big hurdle race of the week and having once again saddled the winner of the Plate, Gordon...
Goodwood & Galway selections Wednesday 30th July The centrepiece races of the entire Goodwood and Galway festivals take place on Wednesday, with the Galway Plate looking well up to standard.
