Galway Festival carries on breaking records

The Galway Festival has been setting betting records all week and continues this weekend as the seven-day Festival draws to a conclusion.

The Galway Festival has been setting betting records all week and continues this weekend as the seven-day Festival draws to a conclusion.

The racing continues with an evening meeting tonight, which includes the €39,000 Guinness Handicap.

The highlight of tomorrow's card is the €50,000 Dawn Milk Handicap Hurdle in which 11 go to post.

The likely favourite here is the Pat Hughes-trained Rapid Deployment after his win in the GPT Galway Handicap on Monday night and he's sure to go close again.

He faces tough opposition from lightly weighted Classic Note for whom Ruby Walsh is an eye catching booking.

The festival continues on Sunday with the €80,000 Galway Radisson SAS Hotel Handicap the feature race.

Topweight One More Round will be a popular choice after his unlucky second in a major international handicap at Ascot last weekend.
