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 delighted to have you with us on the final day of the Summer Festival, where we have eight exhilarating races lined up including todays feature race the €110,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF “Ahonoora” Handicap.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to today’s sponsors: Adare Manor, Kenny Galway, Irish European Breeders Fund, Kinlay Hostel, Salthill Village, and the family and friends of Lord Hemphill and Fr. Breen for their continued and generous support.

Today is also our beloved Mad Hatters Family Fun Day, with a fantastic lineup of family entertainment taking place in the Mayor’s Garden. This year’s Mad Hatter Competition is being judged by Laura Broderick, and we are once again grateful to Ireland West Airport for providing an incredible selection of prizes.

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. If you are feeling lucky, we invite you to purchase a ticket for the WinABMW Draw which will take place this afternoon, with the lucky winner receiving a Colm Quinn Mini Cooper Classic. All money raised is in aid of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute.

We hope you enjoy the atmosphere, the fashion, the entertainment, and the unforgettable experience that only Galway can offer. Thank you for joining us in celebrating the 156th Galway Races Summer Festival, we look forward to welcoming you back for racing in September and again for our three-day October Bank Holiday Racing Festival.

Best wishes,

Dr. Colm O’Flaherty

RACE VERDICT

Typical of a final-day event at this meeting, it affords a chance to several who have run well during the week. RAGMANS CORNER came home strongly for third in Monday’s amateur race and may collect this time. Castleheath, a dead-heater on the Flat on Tuesday, could go close. Son Of Hypnos is a dual C&D winner and showed signs of returning to form when sixth here on the opening day. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

Even with a 20lb hike in the ratings for his Ballinrobe win, Chance Another One can probably remain competitive. However, it could pay to take a chance with an each-way alternative, and BILLY LEE SWAGGER fits the bill based on a Punchestown festival fourth. Coole Cherry may have needed the run at Killarney and may turn the tables on Greatness Awaits and Bitofajokelike Duke Silver and Garnacho also have solid claims. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

RACE PREDICTOR RACE VERDICT

Best treated at these weights is Blood Destiny. However, he has put several blots on his record and faced no meaningful opposition for a Listowel win. It could pay to oppose him with ZANAHIYR who failed to match last year’s Plate third when seventh in the big race here on Wednesday. Source: Racing Post

RACE PREDICTOR RACE VERDICT

PREDICTION: ARCTIC FLY

A pleasing run over hurdles at Kilbeggan gives THE DASHER CONWAY a fighting chance off a mark 10lb lower than last year when he finished second. Arctic Fly, from the same stable as last year’s winner Saint Roi, heads the list of likely dangers. Sea Music, fifth in Wednesday’s Plate could pose a major threat at this level. Visionarian may be the pick of three Gavin Cromwell-trained runners. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

4.00pm RACE 5

(Generously sponsored by the Irish EBF (€15,000))

The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Ahonoora Handicap of €110,000 (Premier Handicap) About 7 furlongs. Starting from Stalls.

An extended handicap for three years old and upwards that are EBF eligible and that have run three or more times under any Rules of Racing up to and including 21st July, 2025, at least one of those runs having been on or after 1st July, 2024 (105 = 10st).

RACE PREDICTOR

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’

(including eg current form, ratings and going.)

DUNUM

RACE VERDICT

No better starting point than 2023 winner Dunum who attempts to follow up Tuesday’s Colm Quinn BMW Mile win, trying to confirm that form with third-placed Orandi on 7lb worse terms. However, it could pay to follow other form from this week, namely that of PRINCESS CHILD, who finished like a train in a Listed fillies race on Thursday, having been denied a clear run, although the strong early pace could have flattered her. Scurry winner Go Athletico would be very interesting if seeing out this stiff 7, while Partisan Hero looks the best of the British challenge. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

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: SUTTON HOO

RACE VERDICT

Four of these contested a similar Leopardstown event last month won by an all-the-way winner, Joltin, coming out best in second, just ahead of Lucia Molly, with both BANG BANG and Duke Of Cumberland staying on late from some way back. The selection was slowly away and very green then and is taken to reverse the form, although the last-named was given a considerate ride then and could well emerge a major threat.

RACE PREDICTOR RACE VERDICT

Several of these have already run here this week, notably Far From Dandy, Highbury See See and Gangsta Man, all of whom have strong claims, with others engaged here on Friday. However, value may be had in PALLATINE HILLS, who showed improvement dropped in trip last time and for whom this further drop could suit. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Willie Mullins has won two of the three previous runnings of this race and holds a very strong hand here with Doctor Steinberg and AL ARRIVEE, both impressive winners last time under Patrick Mullins, who chases the latter here, a half-sister to Al Boum Photo Minella Emperor, Jisco Du Brem and the long-absent Murat give further strength in depth.
