WELCOME

WELCOME BACK TO BALLYBRIT

On behalf of the Galway Race Committee and the team at Galway Racecourse, we are thrilled to welcome you to our iconic seven-day Summer Festival. It is always a pleasure to greet supporters from every county in Ireland and from all corners of the world. Your continued support means so much to us - thank you.

This year, we are proud to welcome back our valued partners and sponsors. Their generous support plays a vital role in making the Galway Races the world-renowned event it is today. We’re delighted to offer an increased prize fund of over €2.17 million across the week, featuring 53 thrilling races, with every race carrying a minimum prize of €17,000 and all feature races offering at least €110,000.

We’re especially excited to have you with us on Day Three of the Summer Festival, where we have seven exhilarating races lined up including the most prestigious race of the week, the historic Tote Galway Plate, worth an impressive €270,000.

This year marks a very special milestone, as Tote Ireland celebrates 15 years of sponsoring the Tote Galway Plate. We extend our sincere thanks to Lynda Reilly and the entire Tote team for their unwavering support and commitment over the past decade and a half.

Before racing begins, be sure to join us at the parade ring for a Racing Preview with Dave Keena, who’ll offer expert tips and insights for the evening ahead. The theme for today is Country Music Day, and we’re delighted to be joined by Claudia and Jimmy Buckley, who will perform live on the main stage from 8:00pm. Don’t miss what promises to be a brilliant evening of music and entertainment.

We hope to also see you tomorrow where Ella & Jo will sponsor the Ladies Day Best Dressed Competition and we also celebrate Diageo who mark an incredible 60 consecutive years of sponsorship. Friday sees Athlone Towncentre return to sponsor Friday’s Most Stylish competition and why not bring the whole family along for Mad Hatters Family Fun Day on Sunday, featuring fantastic entertainment and great prizes, courtesy of Ireland West Airport.

We hope you enjoy the racing, the atmosphere, the fashion, and the unforgettable excitement that only Galway can offer. Thank you for joining us and here’s to a fantastic Summer Festival!

Best wishes,

Dr. Colm O’Flaherty

Mr. Michael Moloney Chairman, Galway Race Committee CEO, Galway Racecourse

PREDICTION: SOLDIERS WORLD

RACE VERDICT

After a promising hurdle bow at this meeting last year before a cracking run in the Ebor, HIPOP DE LOIRE looks like the one to beat. He has stamina to prove but shaped like he would get further here when narrowly denied last season and Willie Mullins’ first-string is entirely unexposed. Of Anarchy looks like the main threat with a step up in distance sure to suit and the likes of Zanndabad, Plomeur, Coded Welder and Solders World can battle it out for minor honours.

RACE RESULT

Galway Races Summer Festival

July 28 – August 3

5.35pm RACE 2

The Tote Money-back 2nd Every Race Today Handicap Hurdle

(Generously sponsored by Tote Ireland)

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (110 = 11st 12lbs).

About 2 miles 6 furlongs.

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: EL CHAMPO

RACE VERDICT

This could be a good opportunity for handicap debutant ARCTIC GALE who arrives on the back of a beginners’ success earlier this month, won’t mind the step back up in trip and has been given a nice mark to work with. Dream In The Park could have a say if fit on return but the main threats could be the unexposed five-year-olds Affinity Rock and Nitty Gritty who both got off the mark in Killarney maiden hurdles last time. Ahead Of The Posse and Caesar Rock aren’t the most reliable but are both capable of having a say if they’re on a going day. [Phill Anderson]

PREDICTION: RADAR AHEAD

RACE VERDICT

After a highly promising start to her career, FARFROMNOWHERE looks capable of taking this on her way to bigger things. She lost her unbeaten record last time on the back of a lengthy absence but it was a career best in defeat and if she comes on for that run, she can defy a mark of 127. Enfranchise was turned over when favourite for this last year but has been in good form on the Flat of late and Redwood Queen is an obvious threat after her run at Wexford last time when she unseated with the race in the bag.

RACE VERDICT

Runner-up in the Plate at Cheltenham on his only start since joining Gavin Cromwell, THECOMPANYSERGEANT gets the vote to go one better. Another Cheltenham runner-up, Anyway a big danger after a warm-up win at Kilbeggan. Down Memory Lane looks the pick of an eight-strong squad declared by Gordon Elliott, who has lifted this prize four times since 2016. Last year’ Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring is capable of a bold showing, and Sea Music, who unseated in the Mayo National won by Western Fold, is another with a strong chance.

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: INDIAN RIVER

RACE

VERDICT

There is a suspicion that Killarney runner-up Mont St Michel is flattered by a handicap mark of 96, and a similar remark could apply to the 87-rated Edelak. In the circumstances, it may be worth taking a chance with WATERFORD FLOW, whose lower mark has been put to the test in handicaps. Nakassama is a place possibility.

RACE PREDICTOR

PREDICTION: SUNRISFONTHEBOYNE

RACE VERDICT

Sujet looked like he still had plenty in hand when winning a premier handicap at the Curragh on his seasonal reappearance and he is greatly respected off 9lb higher. First Wave is interesting down in class, as is Scott Key stepped back up in trip but FAR FROM DANDY caught the eye making late gains after a slow start at Killarney and he can take this if sharper from the gates. Sunriseontheboyne could make a bold bid at likely bigger odds. [Dave Stephens]

BALTIC BIRD

RACE VERDICT

An ultra-competitive heat. The unexposed Light In The Dark is an intriguing runner but this is a tough race in which to make her handicap debut. Her stablemate Shoda has to be considered, as does the inform Happy Jacky but OPEN SECRET caught the eye when not far behind the latter horse at the Curragh on his return from a break last month and he could turn the tables with that run under his belt. Arch Enemy could go well for each-way players, as could Feud. [Dave Stephens] Source: Racing Post
