A MESSAGE FROM

from near and far, and showcases the very best of Irish hospitality, community and celebration.

This year, we are once again delighted to sponsor the Guinness Handicap, one of the highlights of Race Week and a race that continues to attract exceptional competition. While the racing is always first class, it is the energy of the crowds, the friendships renewed, and the shared experiences that make Galway Race Week so special.

WELCOME

WELCOME TO BALLYBRIT

On behalf of the Galway Race Committee and the team at Galway Racecourse, I am 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 are delighted to offer an increased prize fund of over €2.19 million across the week, featuring 54 thrilling races, with every race carrying a minimum prize fund of €17,000 and all feature races worth at least €110,000.

Today marks the final day of the Summer Festival, and we have eight exhilarating races on the card, including our feature contest, the €110,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF “Ahonoora” Handicap. We are also pleased to be running a sweepstake on the Ahonoora Handicap, with one lucky winner set to take home €1,000 as part of our Grab a Grand initiative. Be sure to scan the QR code featured later in this racecard for your chance to enter.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to today’s sponsors: Adare Manor, Kenny Galway, the 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 programme of family entertainment taking place in the Festival Village. This year’s Mad Hatters Competition is being judged by Hayley Coleman, 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 will offer expert tips and insights for the evening ahead. If you are feeling lucky, we invite you to purchase a ticket for the Win A BMW Draw, which will take place this afternoon. One fortunate winner will drive away in a Colm Quinn BMW iX2, with all proceeds going to our charity partner, 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 157th Galway Races Summer Festival. We look forward to welcoming you back for our September fixture and again for our three-day October Bank Holiday Racing Festival.

Wishing you an enjoyable and successful day in Ballybrit.

Best wishes,

Dr. Colm O’Flaherty

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

Thank you from all of us at Ireland West Airport for your support for the airport over the past 40 years

RACE 1

The Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle of €17,500

(Generously sponsored by Mr. J.P. McManus)

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (120 = 11st 12lbs).

About 2m160y

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.)

PREDICTION: MO GHILLE MAR

RACE VERDICT

Form here this week looms large. Timurshah got a 13lb rise when romping home over this trip on Monday to complete a three-timer for his new trainer, while Ballybrit regular Teed Up bids for a third win in the race on the back of a fine third in the Connacht Hotel amateur flat handicap on Monday. Slight preference, however, is for WAHRAAN following a narrow defeat to a stablemate of Teed Up in a flat handicap on Wednesday. Locally-trained recent Kilbeggan winner Dream Shaper can’t be ignored either. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post

An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards (120 = 11st 12lbs).

RACE 2 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: WARRIORS WOOD

RACE VERDICT

Loads with chances, including the Eoin McCarthy-trained pair Burning Ability and Elusive Ogie, both of which were due to run here yesterday. Rocky’s Howya has been mopping up claimers of late but needs to be respected back in handicap company, while first reserve Wild Mandate has to be considered if getting a run. The best has probably not yet been seen of Fou De Toi, but the mare SALLAP is taken to complete a hat-trick, this slightly longer trip expected to eke out a bit more improvement.

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.)

PREDICTION: GOLDEN TEMPLE

RACE VERDICT

Downpatrick beginners’ winner SAUNTON SURF seems to have been revitalised by the switch to fences and could be on a good mark. Golden Temple is in top form and has obvious claims, while Journey So Far and Jukebox Johnny are unexposed youngsters. Better signs from Tom Gibney’s yard this week make Sammy Smart a place possibility. [Mark Nunan] Source: Racing Post

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.)

PREDICTION: DORSET

RACE VERDICT

As it often does, this final-day highlight features a rematch between several who ran in the big one-mile handicap here on Tuesday. That race’s winner Orandi has obvious claims under a 7lb penalty, but he got the breaks whereas sixth-placed GLENEAGLE BAY didn’t and the latter can go one better than in last year’s renewal. Placed behind Orandi, Pierre Royal and Jagged Edge can contend, but 7f may not be their optimum distance. Lir Speciale didn’t get up the hill on Tuesday, and this trip will be better for him if he gets in. [Mark Nunan] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: STAR GLORY

RACE VERDICT

If she behaves herself in the gates, as she did when second at Leopardstown, STAR GLORY (nap) can take this. Seaxburh has plenty of expereince to draw on and is an obvious threat, while Someday Somewhere and Oristown Boy, who made up a lot of ground when making the frame at Down Royal, appear to be the other principals.

RACE 8 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

PREDICTION: LINFORD

Hat-trick seeking LINFORD doesn’t appear to have to improve much to extend his unbeaten record. The selection comfortably holds Caislean Gear on Roscommon form, albeit that rival has won since and may prove the one to follow him home. [Alan Hewison] Source: Racing Post
