The g Hotel & Spa is sponsoring this ‘Ladies Day’ with a €10,000 prize for the winner of the Best Dressed competition, and €2,000 for the Best Hat.

Throughout the day, live music will be played on the course for everyone’s enjoyment.

The first of eight races of the day takes place at 1:40pm. The featured race of the day is the ‘Guinness Galway Hurdle Handicap’ with a €300,000 prize for the winner.

All eight races on the card this year are sponsored by Guinness.
