Wisdom makes it a magnificent seven for Weld

Galway Market Movers

After race at Galway Wed, 27th Jul, 2011 (1st)

He did it nicely and I thought he'd be hard to beat, especially when the bit of rain came. He has been very backward but progressed well from his last run at Fairyhouse. It was not the greatest of maidens but he'll probably go for a winners-of-one now and I believe he'll make into a Listed horse.
