MENTION Galway races and most people’s first thoughts turn to the great summer festival. It is a meeting that is part of racing tradition and folklore and one that people look forward to from year to year. However, Galway is not a one-raceweek venue.

The upcoming September fixture, to be held on the evenings of Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th, is always a popular meeting due to its relaxed atmosphere. Racegoers can enjoy the usual great facilities in the enclosure such as good food, bar facilities, on-course bookmakers, the big screen and of course and great racing.
