Galway Plate 2010 Tips And Betting Odds Suggest Majestic Concorde Is The One To Be On
Tuesday 27 July 2010 at 11:48
Galway Plate tips are always to be found in abundance in this keenly contested event at the week long Summer Festival. However, with the meeting's top trainer, Dermot Weld, in charge of current hot favourite in the 2010 betting odds, Majestic Concorde, most tipsters are swaying towards the market leader.
Weld Looking For Further Plate Success
Dermot Weld is the man to beat at Galway with over two hundred winners at the Festival and The Curragh based trainer has been top trainer at the meeting an amazing twenty-five times!
Weld has won the Galway Plate four times since 1988, including the double winning Ansar in 2004 and 2005. Majestic Concorde looks to take the winning total to five for the Weld stable and the seven-year-old is currently generally priced at 4/1 a number of bookmakers including Boylesports and Paddy Power .
The Last Derby Could Still Be Well Handicapped
Anyone looking to oppose the favourite could be advised to look closely at the form of The Last Derby. The surprise winner of a 50k+ handicap chase at Ascot last October this horse then went to Newcastle for the Rehearsal Chase and a combination of softer ground and a mid-race mistake ended his chances there. This defeat has resulted in a very fair mark for his return to handicapping in Ireland and together with a confidence boosting recent win over hurdles he looks excellent value at 12/1 with Bet365 and William Hill
