The Galway Plate

Galway Plate Betting OddsThe world famous Galway Plate Steeplechase is the highlight of the seven day Galway Festival and is the biggest attraction in the Galway Festival 2009 Betting. It is ran over 2 miles and 6 furlongs with prize money this year of over 240,000 Euros. The race has been the high spot at the festival since the Ballybrit racecourse opened officially in 1869. It is one of the main chases in the Irish National Hunt sporting calendar and increasingly is attracting top horses from across the water. Last year it attracted the winner, Oslot, who came over from the all-conquerring Paul Nicholls stable. The Irish at least had sometbing to cheer about as top jockey from last year, Ruby Walsh was on board.
