Galway Hurdle 2005

More Rainbows strikes gold at Ballybrit

More Rainbows, trained by Noel Meade and ridden by Niall 'Slippers' Madden, was the 33/1 shock winner of the 2005 Guinness Galway Hurdle.

Last year's winner Cloone River, the 2/1 favourite, fell when going strongly.

An elated Meade said: “That was magic. I thought when Definate Spectacle came down we were out but More Rainbows came up the hill really well. This is a race that’s been very dear to my heart since Pinch Hitter won it and we’ve been second it in three or four times. I’ll never forget the first time we won it, it was the best day of my life”.
