NURBURGRING captures Galway Hurdle

The four-year-old Nurburgring scooted clear inside the closing stages to win by seven lengths for Thursday's feature at Galway Festival for jockey JJ Slevin and trainer Joseph O'Brien.

Nurburgring was highly thought of by connections all last season and stayed on well to be fourth in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

Having also been third in Grade One novice company at Punchestown, he had a recent warm-up spin on the level and was a well-backed 13-2 chance on his handicap debut over obstacles.

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 was not completely fluent at the final flight but found plenty after it to pull clear for an emphatic seven-length triumph ahead of the fast-finishing Ndaawi, who just pipped My Mate Mozzie for second place.
