6/8/23 Galway

 Saturday's winner was Portland, the 15/8 shot was at the rear improving approaching the straight. He made headway to lead inside the final 100 yards keeping on to beat Jakajaro by a length. The other pick Thecompanysergeant failed to finish, the 15/2 chance was 2nd at halfway disputing the lead 3 out. He dropped a place soon after having no extra and he was pulled up before the last. The race went to Ambitious Fellow who beat Bugs Moran by 3/4 of a length. 

 The Galway Summer festival reaches it’s conclusion on Sunday with two final main events. 

3.30: Lord Hemphill Memorial Handicap Chase. 

6: Hubrisko: A promising horse who was second in a novice chase at Wexford when last seen 30 days ago. He led until the straight being passed at the last keeping on at the same pace. He is definitely capable of better and should be well up there on this his handicap chase debut. 

4.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Ahonoora' Handicap. 

3: Hoteocket: Has 2 wins from 3 runs this year his latest was a career best at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. He ran well challenging from a furlong out and leading in the final 100 yards coming home by 3/4 of a length. Despite this being a stronger race and going up 5lb he has more to offer and can complete the hat-trick here.
