THE Galway Gamblers Syndicate, along with friends and family, went to Shark Hanlon’s yard last Saturday morning, where they saw the yard facilities, got up close with stable star Hidden Cyclone as well as experiencing what goes into prepping the horses for the racetrack.

It was into the kitchen then for tea and freshly baked scones (prepared by Shark’s mother Brenda) before heading over to the local track, Gowran Park.
