IN spite of the fact that Irish racecourses are facing enormous pressures, racing behind closed doors and with no immediate prospect of welcoming back paying customers, many are still looking for ways to help others. Galway is a case in point.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Galway is continuing with its efforts to highlight this fact and to raise much-needed funds to assist the National Breast Cancer Research Institute. This weekend Galway wraps up its racing programme for 2020 with a three-day meeting. It starts today and runs through to bank holiday Monday, October 27th.
