Galway Glory: Three Stars Shine | Galway News

Thread Of Gold stunned the Galway crowd with a commanding win in the Guinness Handicap, pulling away in the stretch to triumph by three-quarters of a length—his first mile-and-a-half outing. Ridden by Billy Lee and favored at 3-1, the young star showed remarkable speed and stamina, proving his potential for bigger stages. After a journey from Willie Mullins to new owners and back to form, he’s now on a clear upward trajectory. Earlier, Mullins also secured victory with Vicar Street, a promising prospect from a top mare. Meanwhile, Kings Hill, trained by Paul Gilligan and wearing blinkers for the first time, powered home in the big handicap chase to claim the Galway Blazers Handicap, marking his third win in this race and setting sights on next year’s Galway Plate.
