Thurles racetrack closure only serves to highlight importance of Galway festival
Galway Races rolls over, ever Galway Races year on year, and this year proved the point - again. Whether it's Ireland's most colourful trainer Shark Hanlon or most successful trainer Willie Mullins or any of the just three short of 126,000 people who attended this year talking… Or even those who remain critical of the extension to make it a week-long operation, they are all saying the same thing; it has to stay going. That's especially .after the shock news of Thurles racecourse closing down. The Ballybrit festival still registers as a seven-day wonder on both the Irish social diary and sports calendar, an eclectic mix of style, National Hunt and Flat Racing, and latest 2025, mainly good-weathered, week was an attributable success for lots of types across the industry; there is a lot to like, in these modern times, about 53 races having 33 different winning it was Willie Mullins gained his 10th leading trainer award albeit for only four winners when Gordon Elliott had five and snuck off with both the Plate and The good, all positive, in a week where the fragility of the Irish track industry was summed up by the late-in-the-week bombshell that Thurles Racecourse, established 1732, was closing down with immediate in racing times when there is concern about prestige meetings sucking the life from smaller meetings and prize-money for the last two decades remains the same at smaller meetings when training fees have nearly doubled. Galway is fending off the first challenge with the €270 Plate and €270k Hurdle competitive in the market. There is over €2m prize money available through the week (good) yet there are still close to 50 percent of the Festival's races with less than €20k in the pot (worrying). "I love this Festival," says Shark Hanlon before he sheepishly tacks on an almost two-decade caveat. "It is just I'll tell it anyway, for the last 17 years we'd never left here without a winner and for me, that means an awful lot."But I wasn't to know what was going to happen this week and sure enough we missed out!'The week at Ballybrit is something that resonates, is generational, for the Carlow-based Hanlons, originally cattle dealers before Shark changed the type of livestock to equine."Galway is a place that everyone looks forward to every year and, alright, it might not be the best track in the world."It's very tight and it's up and down but it doesn't matter in the overall week because the crowd, the trainers, the owners, they all love coming here, as with me, that's why I love coming here."Don't ask racing people to talk definitively about any of the days either."Every day has its own character, Monday and Tuesday you have a noticeably older crowd, the local people, Wednesday and Thursday you have two big National Hunt races and you have the racing crowd."And then Friday and Saturday, you have a younger crowd coming in because it's always set for the Bank Holiday weekend."Some people plan about playing a game of golf but a lot of people plan around Galway. "They have their year planned around it, getting travel, accommodation, tickets for the previous or seven months. "Then you have the real, real race crowd on Wednesday and Thursday, they love the two big races the Plate and the Hurdle and some of those like to tag on Friday which has become a very interesting day."Friday probably had the biggest crowd this year (correct, 26,734), the mix of those coming to see the racing but going home afterwards and then you have the younger people that are coming in for the Bank Holiday weekend."Shark has mentioned planning: Willie Mullins tells me the Thursday Hurdle occasions plotting far beyond the industry norm."It's a special day in Irish racing,' notes the Master of Closutton. 'Everyone wants to win all year and there are fellows setting their horse up for two years for this type of a race."So, you know, when you're looking at the form, you have to say who's behind it and where have they been for the last two years? "There are guys for whom this is it, they would rather win a Galway hurdle than Cheltenham, you know. 'Look at people such as Pearse Mee, although he didn't have a runner this year, if he has a runner in the Hurdle watch out.'Well known publican Gary Monroe's place is close to Spanish Arch, it will feed you night and day, and if you're lucky there is an Ado or a Gordon, a Nina, Ted or a Ross there after racing."Galway Arts Festival takes place the two weeks directly preceding the Racing Festival and between them the city of is on the go 18 and 24 hours every day," says an owner closely associated with the Rosabel Rooms charity and who had his horse Talk of the North touched off second last week."The city doesn't get overrun by either the Arts or the horse racing but seems to be able to absorb what are, let's face it, two different crowds."There plenty of guards yet it's never been heavy-handed, plenty of students willing to work very hard for the period and earn some money."The food and drink prices don't escalate - I'd say that is a rare quality but it is part of appreciation that both are good for the city."Not known to many are the beautiful stables beneath Monroes, a legacy from dray horse times and although not used any longer, are still in pristine conditionHis upstairs gig venue/theatre had Richard Thompson, Cry Before Dawn on race week. Sharon Shannon is practically the house musician, upstairs or downstairs. Fun Lovin' Criminals love the place and return again December first race meeting was 155 years back, 1869, and was a two-day event for 90 years before moving to three days in 1959, four in 1971, five in 1974, six in 1982 and, the whole hog, seven days in 1999. "My fascination came from when I was down here with my dad," continues Shark, "my mother and father came down here for years and years, we stayed in the one hotel for the last 30 years.

"When I won the Plate (with €800 purchase Hewick in 2022) he was in the ring with me, it was one of the last days he was racing and it was just a proud day for me and for him and we shed a few tears in it."I knew at the time he was getting 'bet' and, in fairness, he stayed for another year, but he hadn't been racing. My father passed away this year but my mother came Wednesday and Thursday."Moreover Shark is not just about the feeding frenzy that comes with a big race week and two very prestigious prize money pots, there is an appreciation for far more than that and god-given lush green scenery."There is very good staff here and that means a lot too. "It's a long hard week for them people coming in there in the morning, walk the track, and then they're around here after dinner, going back and walk the track. 'You're starting at six o'clock in the morning and maybe finish at nine o'clock that night, that's a long week. 'The management here are very good and the bars here, as you can see yourself, you have the Guinness Bar, you have the Champagne Bar which is a new bar they put up a couple of years ago, everyone loves it, even myself!"
