TRUE, Galway is almost as much about the ‘craic’ (definition withheld) as it is about the racing, and the two feature races are National Hunt races, and you know that the quality of flat racehorse that will be on show at Galway this week will not be up there with the quality that you will see on Irish Champions’ Weekend.

However, if you pay close attention, you also know that you will probably be watching at least a few stars of the future.
