Ruby Walsh: Aramax can defy trends and land Galway Hurdle

The only part I really enjoyed about the Galway Hurdle was when it was over

I think the only part I really enjoyed about the Guinness Galway Hurdle was when it was over, and that’s even since it has been reduced to 20 runners.

When it was 27 runners it was even worse, but I was lucky in it once, on Clondaw Warrior.
