    Galway

    Forget Goodwood, next week's serious action is at Galway. Airlie Beach has an entry for the Hurdle so I've looked up a few 10 year stats for the winners which I'm happy to share. 10/10 previously won a hurdle over 2m or 2m1f. 9/10 aged 6 or 7. The exception was Clondaw Warrior last year aged...
