This afternoon, this country’s most competitive hurdle race will go to post at 4.30pm. Because of the prize fund it carries, and with €159,000 up for grabs to whoever can win it, the Guinness Galway Hurdle has an edge.
No quarter will be given, no favours handed out, and it is certainly not a day to call one in. Twenty runners will want to be where five can fit from flag fall and through this contest and the battle for those slots will continue.
