Galway Plate Day
Wednesday 30th July 2025
The Tote Galway Plate Day is one of the highlights for enjoying exceptional national hunt racing—and it’s also our much-loved ‘Country Music Day.’ So, lace up those dancing shoes!
The Galway Plate has been held at Ballybrit since 1869 and boasts more history and prestige than any other race at the Galway Races.
