It’s fair to say the hype and excitement is building for one of the biggest meetings of the whole year on the Irish racing calendar.
The Galway Festival 2023 takes place from Monday, July 31 to Sunday, August 6 and stars of both codes are set to descend on Ballybrit Racecourse.
The Galway Plate and the Galway Hurdle are the most prestigious contests of the week, with each carrying €270,000 prize pots, while a number of Premier Handicaps on the Flat add extra spice to the mix.
Galway odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise the race times and day-by-day schedule for this year’s meeting is below.
