Galway winner for trainer Tom Gibney
There was a welcome boost for Meath trainer Tom Gibney at Galway yesterday evening when Imposing Supreme won the Arthur Guinness Handicap at the fifth day of the Galway Festival.
The €10,000 pot for the winner takes total earnings to €20,000 and on the baisis of yesterday's display more could be in the tank.
Gibney purchased Imposing Supreme for €15,000 for owners Leonard Kinsella and Kevin Haigney at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale in 2017.
Some good form produced a second in four of nine previous starts and yesterday was an overdue a visit to the number one slot.
"We had no intention of coming to Galway until Gary (Carroll) got off him at Killarney and said Galway would suit him, so that was it," stated the trainer is a post-race interview.
