"It's a holiday festival. I think whether it's good times or bad times, you know, people need a bit of a break and (an opportunity to) relax.
There's a unique atmosphere here in Galway. There's a great tradition of racing here. And you have, of course, to ally that to all the tremendous investments that have been made in recent years.
You have a tremendous set of facilities here now. The management of the festival committee have to be congratulated for their foresight and their ability to reinvest and make sure that the product here is as good as anything that you'll find on these islands.
We're here at Galway Races trying to get away from some of that serious talk. I think it's always refreshing to come and see good racing and see one of the great jockeys of our time, Ruby Walsh give the winner there (Oslot) an absolute armchair ride."
