The Galway Festival

The Galway Festival is an annual horse racing festival in Ireland that takes place on the final Monday of July. It is the longest race meet in Ireland, lasting seven days at Ballybrit Racecourse in Galway, Ireland.

The Galway Festival features 51 races, with total prize money exceeding €2 million for the first time this year. The renowned Galway Plate, which is so important in the history of Galway racing, is the Blue Riband race. It takes place on Wednesday, the third day of the meeting, and it will be the race that garners the greatest media attention and, no doubt, the majority of Galway Festival betting.

Wednesday, when the Galway Plate is held, and Thursday, when the Galway Hurdle and Ladies' Day are staged, are the busiest days of the festival. Ladies' Day is held on the fourth day of the Galway Festival and is one of the most colorful. The Galway Handicap Hurdle, another race that attracts great betting interest, is the main event of the day. Before betting on the race, punters should check out our Galway Festival Free Bet Offers.
