Full steam ahead for Weld in Galway

Dermot Weld wasted no time in opening his account at this year's Galway Festival by taking the first race of the meeting, the Radissonhotelgalway.com & Galwaybayhotel.com Novice Hurdle, with Train Of Thought.

Ridden by Ruby Walsh, the four-year-old was a four-race maiden on the level but was soon in command on his hurdling debut.
