I enjoyed a great start to Galway, with turnover up, tickets up and we won overall on the day. I know the overall bookmaker figures were down for Monday but I didn’t see it. There seemed to be a great atmosphere around the place, a typical Galway atmosphere and from early on you could see a big crowd developing.

You have to hand it to Galway –they continually improve their facilities year on year. This year the introduction of the Hops 21 tent looks a great addition. There were people around there all day and it’s close enough to the main betting ring which us good for us.
