Dermot Weld has the last laugh with Galway four-timer

I doubt that Dermot Weld engaged in anything even remotely approaching a Clive Brittain-like jig, but he must have at least allowed himself a wry smile!

At Galway on Monday night Weld saddled four winners, from seven races, and the irony was hardly lost on him.

It has long been accepted he will emerge from the Galway festival as the leading trainer, but only succeeded this year because of a crazy points scoring system.
