Trainspotters heading for annual convention

THE eve of another Galway then and every expectation it is going to be bigger, better and even more dramatic than any that have gone before!

All the so-called shrewdies, mind you there are plenty of them, have been watching racing, hawk-like, for the last six weeks or so with just one thing in mind - Ballybrit.

Trainers lay out horses for this meeting like no other and the trick is to spot the train coming down the tracks, prior to it flying past.
