Galway Races - Galway Plate 2007

Sir Frederick - Winner of the William Hill Galway Plate 2007

Sir Frederick, trained by Liam Burke and ridden by Kevin Coleman, carried the colours of the Seven Heads Syndicate to success in the 2007 William Hill Galway Plate.

"Kevin gave him a superb ride," said Burke. "The horse wasn't going that well passing the stands but he took his time, got him back on the bridle and didn't panic. I'm delighted for him - he needed a bit of luck."

Dermot Weld, trainer of Galway specialist Ansar (4th), remarked: "He has run another superb race but the rain just came at the wrong time this morning. If he continues to show the same enthusiasm that he has been showing us, he will come back and have another tilt at the race next year."
