Supercomputer predicts 2026 Galway Plate result

On Wednesday, 29 July, the Ballybrit crowd will hold its breath for a few short minutes as the field sets off in the Tote Galway Plate, the roaring highlight of the Galway Festival. Run over an extended two miles and six furlongs with fourteen fences to negotiate, it is a unique examination of speed, stamina and jumping under pressure, and one of the most valuable and fiercely competitive handicap chases in Europe, worth €270,000 with more than €159,000 going to the winner.
