G
Galway Races, County Galway, Ireland
July
o to the Galway races as intrepid tourist, as
seeker of rowdy events, as voyeur of massive performance
art, as equine devotee, go, just go!
This attitude permeates Galway alumnae who steadfastly
return, beginning on the last Monday of July for a week
of racing on the outskirts of this western Irish port city.
A racing tradition nearly seven hundred years old, these
hunt races (as steeplechasing is called in Ireland and Great
Britain) have become legendary, considered by many the
world���s most interesting racing competition.
