PAT VERLING struck a blow for the smaller man when training and riding Sabadilla to a tremendous success in yesterday’s Guinness Galway Hurdle at Ballybrit, before an attendance of 37,394.

IF the weather is nice go for a walk and simply pretend Roscommon isn’t on this evening.

CHARLES BYRNES’ Rockstown Boy was much too good for Christy Roche’s The Boys In Green In the EBF Novice Hurdle at Tralee yesterday.
