Four-year-old scooted clear inside the closing stages to win by seven lengths.
NURBURGRING GALLOPED ON strongly to run out a convincing winner of the €270,000 Guinness Galway Hurdle for Joseph O’Brien and JJ Slevin.
The Willie Mullins-trained pair of Anotherway and Williamstowndancer took them along in the early stages but Nurburgring was always travelling nicely in behind and jumped to the front two out before kicking for home. “He came here with the four-year-olds’ allowance and really it was a fantastic ride from JJ. He got a good start, a lovely position and made a lovely move at the top of the hill. It was a very impressive performance.
“There is a whole army of backroom people who never stand in the ring or never get a day like this, but they are the backbone of the team and they make these things happen.”
