Tycoon adds to Galway riches

Busted Tycoon and Notable Graduate provided Tony Martin and Dermot Weld respectively with further success on the final day of the 2013 Galway Festival in Ballybrit yesterday.

The remarkable Busted Tycoon became the first horse to win three times at the Festival when getting up late under Ruby Walsh to land the Vision Express Mares Handicap Hurdle while Weld emerged as the meeting’s leading trainer for the twenty-seventh time (outright) when Notable Graduate captured the Trappers Inn Maiden Hurdle.

Successful in flat handicaps on Tuesday and Saturday, Busted Tycoon was sent off 11/10 favourite as she reverted to hurdling and attempted to complete a six-timer in the mares event.
