galway trial

I headed up for galway yesterday afternoon to give dineenos lad a spin around there to get him ready for the upcoming €10,000 to the winner broadway petfoods A3 sweep it was a bitterly cold night in galway and i suppose everywhere else as well for that matter and it was a credit to the track staff that trials could go ahead at all its a fair spin from here the bones of 3 hours each way but the road is pretty good for most of the journey these days which makes it that bit easier The trial went ok nothing spectacular I'm afraid but by all accounts the track was well back and for his first look you would be hopeful there would be more to come from him
The jury on his staying ability is still out on him for me and its not until your in a race you really know what you have he did cramp a little after the race which is a bit of a concern for me but with the freezing temperatures id say i wasn't the only one last night that had a dog cramp he seemed to walk it off ok after 10 to 15 Min's i will check him out tomorrow morning and i might give a run up to the vet to give him the once over if I'm in any doubt
