IF you are a Galway Races regular, don’t be too surprised if you get a phone call from a leading jockey or trainer over the next few days.

The Galway Races ‘Phone A Friend’ initiative is well under way and several racing fans have been contacted for a chat by some of the sport’s leading lights. The initiative was the brainchild of Galway Races marketing manager Sinead Cassidy who asked members of the public to nominate a family member or friend who might benefit from a call from a racing personality.
