FEATURING THE

HANDICAP OF €110,000 FRIDAY 29TH JULY 2022 PRICE — €4.00

A MESSAGE FROM

Guinness is proud to continue its long-standing association with the Galway Races Festival. Our sponsorship of the Galway Races Festival began over fifty years ago and we are honoured to have supported the heart of racing in Ireland for so long. The festival is a highlight in both the racing and social calendar and playing a role in making this annual event a success for all who love it is incredibly important to us.

The magic of Irish horseracing knows no bounds, nor does the passion of racing fans year on year when it comes to this landmark occasion at Ballybrit. We’re looking forward to the Guinness Handicap, which again this year has an incredible prize fund of €110,000. Being a part of how horseracing is embracing the digital world is very important to us, so no matter where you are for this year’s festival, you can be sure to celebrate it with a Guinness.

Alongside Guinness and Diageo Ireland, I am personally delighted to welcome you all to this year’s incredible event in my new role as Managing Director for Ireland. This annual celebration of horseracing and entertainment should be a great source of pride for all involved in this special occasion. We wish the many loyal racegoers who champion both Guinness and the Galway Races an exciting and memorable 2022 festival, from wherever you are.

Barry O’Sullivan Country Director, Diageo.

SETTING the SCENE with David Jennings

The best dish of the day is served first on Friday evening at Galway as Nibiru gets the nap vote in the opening Guinness Galway Tribes Handicap Hurdle (5.00), a race Tony Martin won back in 2008 with Stage Manager.

Nibiru’s Flat mark is up to 81 following quite a decisive victory at Fairyhouse earlier this month and that makes a hurdle rating of 109 very attractive indeed. He might have won a 2m handicap hurdle at the meeting last year off an identical mark had he not endured a nightmare passage coming in and out of the dip. He arrives in better form this time around and has just 10st 2lb to carry. With luck in running he must go close.

Had Busselton been pitched into the Tote Galway Plate on Wednesday, he would have been on my radar. Instead Joseph O’Brien has been patient and waited for the Guinness Galway Blazers (6.00) 48 hours later instead and it could prove a shrewd move.

Busselton has been crying out for this sort of trip over fences and was second in a 2m2f beginners chase at this meeting last year so he obviously handles the track. A mark of 140 is fine and he warmed up for this date with a Flat maiden win at Roscommon last month which was more decisive than the winning margin suggests.

Dermot Weld has won the James’s Gate Irish EBF Median Auction Maiden (5.30) four times in the last decade, including with Malayan last year, and he can continue his dominance of the race thanks to Keep In Touch.

Her debut at Naas, when an unfancied 33-1 shot, was jampacked full of promise. Auguste Rodin is held in the highest regard in Ballydoyle and this Tamayuz filly got within three and three-quarter lengths of her. It was a very smart effort.

She didn’t enjoy the smoothest of passages either so there ought to be more to come. Stall 15 is a worry but she may have the class to overcome it The feature Guinness Handicap (6.35) looks wide open and a chance is taken on the unexposed Fozzy Stack-trained threeyear-old RULER LEGEND. He was too keen in the Queen’s Vase and didn’t get home but this trip might be more his thing and the ground will be more forgiving too.

FRIDAY 29th JULY

WELCOME WELCOME BACK TO BALLYBRIT On behalf of the Galway Race Committee and the team at Galway Racecourse, we’re delighted you have joined us on the fifth day of the Galway Races Summer Festival where we have eight exciting races to look forward to, including the feature race on the card the €110,000 Guinness Handicap.

This evening’s racecard also features two top National Hunt Races in the Guinness Galway Tribes Hurdle and the Guinness Galway Blazers Steeplechase both valued at €80,000.

We would like to thank today’s sponsors Guinness who generously sponsor the entire card for their continued support and we hope that they and their guests have an enjoyable day.

Tradition and soul are two components of any great event and the Galway Races Summer Festival have both in abundance.

We’ve a fantastic week planned and we hope you have a great experience with us.

This year we welcome back our valued partners and sponsors whose investment in our event help make the Galway Races what it is. This week there is more than €2.1 million of prizemoney on offer, an increase of €346,500 on last year’s festival - with fifty-three races over the seven days.

Today is also Friday’s Most Stylish competition in association with Athlone Town Centre and judged this year by Bláthnaid Treacy, RTÉ Television Presenter and Marietta Doran. We are sure it will be a great occasion and wish you all the best of luck.

We’re always looking to improve the customer experience on track so you’ll see some new and improved facilities that include a new enclosure layout, new bars, additional covered marquees and public seating, plus the addition of a new Parade Ring Lounge that’s proving very popular for groups.

Do join us at the parade ring prior to racing where we host a Racing Preview with Dave Keena and guests from Irish racing.

Enjoy meeting old friends and new here in Ballybrit.

Best wishes, Anthony Ryan Chairman

Michael Moloney Chief Executive

RACE VERDICT

RACE 1 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

NIBIRU ran really well twice at this meeting last year. He was second in a Flat handicap at 40-1 and then unlucky in a handicap hurdle over this trip when meeting lots of red lights before the home turn. He runs off the same mark of 109 here and comes into the race on the back of winning a Flat handicap at Fairyhouse. He looks primed to run a big one. Mr Saxobeat won his bumper here last year and could be interesting back at this trip, while Ebasari, Magnor Glory and Zoffanien are all worthy of consideration too.

RACE VERDICT

Thunderbear sets the standard on form and he’s respected back down in class but he doesn’t look entirely straightforward. Keep In Touch was a bit of an eyecatcher on debut and she’ll probably take up a fair amount of the market given her connections. It might be worth taking a chance on BLUE NEWS who got back on track with a narrow defeat last time out and should improve for this longer trip. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post

RACE 3 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

The likeable BUSSELTON looks on a fair mark and his ability to race up with the pace will be an asset. Last year’s winner Born By The Sea will be primed for a repeat and could be the chief threat while Waitnsee and Aramax, who was third in last year’s renewal, are others to consider.

RACE 4 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

Fourth in last year’s renewal, BABY ZEUS is 2lb lower this time, well drawn and is best when fresh. His trainer has a fine record in this valuable contest. Merroir has a good record at this venue and should go well while the three-year-olds Ruler Legend and Shark Bay have scope for further improvement.

RACE 5 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

A very open maiden but HONEYCOMB is gradually progressive and she can go one better than at Killarney where she had a couple of these behind. Willamette Valley may improve enough on her promising comeback at Bellewstown to get involved while River Rain has a clear chance on ratings if she stays. [Mark Nunan] Source: Racing Post

RACE 6 PREDICTOR The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

This is typically competitive for a handicap at this meeting and a case can be made for plenty of them. Grappa Nonino looks solid after the form of his narrow defeat at the Curragh received a boost here earlier in the week. Princess Azure showed more last time and has a good draw for her likely frontrunning tactics. However, at a likely each-way price it might be worth taking a chance on LAMPROG. She was a long way below form last time out but has been freshened up since and had looked progressive previously.

RACE VERDICT

This looks like a good opportunity for SANDHURST to get his career back on track.

He was entitled to need his return from more than a year off when in behind Shoshone Warrior at Leopardstown last time and he comes out well at the weights this time.

Azallya should be involved if she resumes progress having proved herself at Listed level last term and M C Muldoon may do better at some stage. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

The unexposed INDIGO DESERT might be the way to go on his debut for Willie Mullins given that an opening mark of 75 looks on the lenient side and he has plenty of upside on just his third career start. [Phill Anderson] Source: Racing Post
