Ted Walsh, in his characteristically candid manner, explained the master of Rosewell House's historical success at Galway: "Dermot (Weld) likes this track. He comes here every year with a top gun. He's a hard man to beat here. He brings his top horses here.
In fairness, I couldn't say that you would see Ballydoyle (Aidan O'Brien), or Vincent O'Brien or 'Darkie' Prendergast doing that in their day - or any of the other big places (stables). The others don't just seem to take it (Galway Races) quite as seriously as Dermot does. He brings, as he said himself, a listed or a stakes horse to win a maiden here. Doesn't he?"
