2025 Galway Plate Trends

Run over 2m6f, the Galway Plate (Handicap Chase) is one of the feature contests at the seven-day Galway Festival, and despite not being held during the main NH season the race is always well contested and attracts horses from leading yards from both sides of the Irish Sea.

Here at GEEGEEZ, we are on-hand with all the key trends to look out for ahead of the ultra-competitive race...... this year staged on Wednesday 30th July 2025.
