Luck runs out in galway

dineenos chances bit the dust last night in galway I'm afraid
i always knew it was going to be a tough heat and he well beaten in 4th place he broke pretty well and went to the bend well but took a real hefty whack here which probably cost him his chance of qualifying he was shuffled back to forth going up the back but made up a place up the back straight but pat curtins mustang dog was way to close for comfort turning for home i was still in third but my lads stride was shortening while at the same time the other fellas was lengthening...lol anyway he picked me up handy enough on the run and my chance was gone i really needed to turn without any trouble to have enough in hand of this strong stayer and it was not to be I'm afraid but it was an enjoyable experience either way one thing i have to comment on is the poor prize money for the unplaced runners its all fine and well shouting about the top prize of 10 grand but €70 for unplaced 3rd round losers is a bit of joke after paying €40 to enter you are up the princely sum of €30 for your 3 trips to galway i won my first round heat to pocket €100 for the owners but all the same its poor to say the least
Im undecided whats next for dineenos lad as there is not to much around at the moment for him but i will probably give him a spin in a one off around tralee races are scarce enough on the ground in the kingdom with me having to wait the full six weeks to the day for my last race with aughcastla adam which is not really good enough
