BALKO Des Flos was very good in winning TheTote.com Galway Plate on Wednesday, and Davy Russell was very good on him.

It is easy to say that a winning ride is a good ride. It was successful, you couldn’t have done any better, you achieved 100% success with the ride that you gave the horse, ergo it was a good ride. That is not always the case, but it is usually the perception.
