Tom Mullins' Fosters Cross turned the biggest race on day one of the Galway Festival, the carlton.ie/galwaycity (QR) Handicap, into a procession with a fine front-running displayMon 25th Jul

Poet doesn't fluff his lines

The market suggested that the two-year-old maiden – the claregalwayhotel.ie & Ramada Hotel Card Club EBF Maiden – would develop into a match and so it proved as Riviera Poet denied Learn close home as the pair pulled a yawning 13 lengths clear of their rivals. Mon 25th Jul

Galway market movers

Learn is developing into one of the best backed horses on the opening evening of the Galway Festival, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained juvenile now challenging Riviera Poet for favouritism in the claregalwayhotel.ie & Ramada Hotel Card Club (C & G) EBF Maiden. Mon 25th Jul

After race at Galway Mon, 25th Jul, 2011 (1st)

That could well turn out to be the race of the week. It was a very good two-year-old race, and they are two smart horses. He had a hold up after his first run at the Curragh with sore shins, and I had to tighten him a bit more than I wanted to get here. You often need a Group horse to win here, and I think he is a Group horse. He's in the National Stakes.
