WELCOME BACK TO BALLYBRIT

On behalf of the Galway Race Committee and the entire team here at Galway Racecourse, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you all and thank you for joining us for our three day October Bank Holiday Festival.

PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships and community support have always been the backbone of the Galway Races and a key part of our continued success.

We are delighted to have the support of so many great businesses and sponsors. A special welcome to QuinnBet, who join us this year as new sponsors of today’s first race.

We are also proud to welcome back Connolly’s RED MILLS, the Irish European Breeders Fund, Sanserv, Corrib Oil, W.B. Gavin & Co., and Colm Quinn BMW.

We would especially like to extend our heartfelt welcome to the families of Joe O’Gorman and Martin Collins, and thank them for choosing to celebrate the memory of their loved ones here at Ballybrit.

TOMORROW’S ‘RACE IN PINK’ FUNDRAISER

Tomorrow, we host our much-loved ‘Race in Pink’ event, a special day supporting the National Breast Cancer Research Institute, an Irish charity dedicated to advancing breast cancer research under the leadership of Professor Michael Kerin at the Lambe Institute, University of Galway.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are proud to once again support this vital cause, made possible through your generosity and participation.

THANK YOU

As we bring another exciting year of racing to a close, I would like to sincerely thank all our supporters, sponsors, racegoers, and the wider community for their continued enthusiasm and commitment.

Our core values of a love of horse racing, friendship, community, family, and fun guide everything we do here in Ballybrit. We are thrilled to share this October Bank Holiday Festival with you all.

Wishing you a wonderful day’s racing and an enjoyable bank holiday weekend.

Yours sincerely,

RACE VERDICT

The Champion Bumper third SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY was bitterly disappointing when last seen but he is better than that and he could be hard to beat if at his best here. King’s Bucks looks the biggest danger, while Eachtotheirown, Jumble Light and Firebrand can fight it out for minor money. Any market confidence behind Treasure Memory should be noted.

RACE RESULT

www.sanserv.com

The W.B. Gavin & Co. Handicap Hurdle of €23,000

(Generously sponsored by W.B. Gavin & Co. Solicitors)

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (140 = 11st 12lbs)

About 2 miles 5 furlongs 200 yards.

RACE PREDICTOR

W.B. GAVIN & CO.

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an

(including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

Plenty with chances, perhaps MAKE GOOD can transfer his good recent Flat form to hurdles here, having been a Grade 2 Cheltenham winner in earlier days. Hgranca De Thaix was a beaten favourite in this race last year so warrants respect, along with the hat-trick seeking Grann’s Boy, recent C&D winner Paul Collins and the reappearing Sportinthepark, a winner over fences at this meeting last year and running off a much lower hurdles mark.

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’

RACE VERDICT

Brian McMahon runs three and County Champs looks the most obvious one for him but THE EGGLER shaped like this trip would suit here on his penultimate start so a chance is taken on him bouncing back from a poor run at Tipperary. A drying track would boost the chances of Gerrys Wish, Oneforthefairgreen and Queen Kulina are respected and Johnny Cakes needs checking in the market on his return from a break.

The Joe O’Gorman & Martin Collins Memorial (C & G) (Pro/Am) Flat Race of €10,500

An I.N.H. flat race for four years old colts and geldings only that have not won a race under any N.H. Rules or Rules of Racing (excluding Academy Hurdles and 3-y-o Junior N.H. Hurdles).

About 2 miles 90 yards.

RACE 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.)

PREDICTION: ZEUS POWER

RACE VERDICT

There was 3l between Zeus Power and Jet Renegade over C&D 18 days ago and they should both be thereabouts again. Leonard Vallis has to be on the shortlist after his promising debut over hurdles at Gowran but Noel Meade has a good record in this race and PREMIER ROGUE is taken to confirm Punchestown form with Shabra Diya and get his head in front with Harry Swan up for the first time.
