Thu 07 Jul 2008Walsh and Oslot deliver gamble on a Plate
RACING:OSLOT BECAME just the third British-trained winner of the William Hill Galway Plate when justifying a huge gamble under Ruby Walsh yesterday but in landmark terms he had to compete with the most dominant Ballybrit figure of all as Dermot Weld reached the remarkable 200-winner mark for the summer festival in some style.
