We have exclusive Galway Plate tips for you from BoyleSports Horse Racing Ambassador Robbie Power ahead of the feature on Day 3 of the Galway Races.
Robbie Power’s Galway Plate Tips
A former winner in the race, Power is siding with the mount of Rachael Blackmore in the Galway Plate.
“Lets Go Champ was the winner of a Handicap Chase at the Punchestown Festival and Punchestown form always holds up strong in Galway. At a big price, French Dynamite has Grade 1 form and is dropped down a mark that looks workable. With first-time blinkers on, if he comes back to something like his best, he could be way overpriced.”
Robbie Power’s 1-2-3 in the 7.10 Galway Plate:
1. Lets Go Champ (7/1)
2. French Dynamite (22/1)
3. Perceval Legallois (7/2f)

“To win a Galway Plate so early on in my career was fantastic, it boosted my career and this is the highlight of the summer, this is what everyone talks about. We talk about Cheltenham all winter, for summer horses this is Cheltenham. It’s a fantastic atmosphere. The course is in magnificent condition so there are no excuses.”
What Makes The Galway Races Unusual
“It’s 7 days of fantastic racing and it’s unusual now because it’s the only time all year that we have mixed cards, that used to be a regular thing but now not so much. Flat jockeys and jump jockeys are mixing in the weighing room, there’s great camaraderie and there’s a great friendly, fun atmosphere.”
