🌑 2020 🌑 The 2020 Galway Races were like no 🌑 2020 🌑

The 2020 Galway Races were like no other, with the shadow of COVID-19 hanging over the event. 🏇💔

Where did you watch the races from? ✨

For the first time in history, the festival was held behind closed doors, with no crowds in attendance. The stands were eerily empty, and the usual buzz of racegoers, fashionistas, and cheers from the rails were replaced with silence.

It was a bittersweet Festival, but a true testament to the resilience of racing, the spirit of Galway, and the ability to adapt in unprecedented times. 🏇💪✨

A huge thank you to all the team at @williepmullins Yard 🤍
🤝 Galway Race Committee appoints new Chairman 🤝

The Galway Race Committee is pleased to announce the election of Dr. Colm O’Flaherty as its new Chairman, following the conclusion of Mr. Anthony Ryan’s distinguished five-year tenure at the helm. 

Michael Moloney, CEO of Galway Races, added: 

“It was great having Anthony’s support over the past five years as we dealt with a rocky Covid period. It was even better to see Ballybrit return to normal, if not better, in recent years. We’re delighted that Anthony will remain on the board, and I want to sincerely thank both him and his wife Bernie for their unwavering commitment to the racecourse. No doubt, they won’t be strangers around here in the future.” 

Dr. Colm O’Flaherty now takes up the role of Chairman with a four-year term ahead. A longtime supporter of the Galway Races and a respected figure within both the racing community and Galway, Dr. O’Flaherty brings a deep knowledge of the sport along with a forward-thinking vision for its continued success. 

We look forward to welcoming you all to Ballybrit for our 2025 Summer Festival. Monday 28th July - Sunday 3rd August. 

See you in Ballybrit

As always, headpieces were the crown jewel of Ladies’ Day, with creations that ranged from delicate elegance to full-on showstoppers. 🎀👑 

In the Galway Plate, it was Borice who stole the spotlight for Gordon Elliott and Luke Dempsey. Coming in under the radar, the French import produced a strong staying performance, kicking clear late to secure a second Plate win in a row for Elliott. 🐎

The Guinness Galway Hurdle was a thriller. Tudor City, trained by Tony Martin and ridden by Liam McKenna, slipped through the pack and held on in a nail-biting finish. 💐🌀
