153 races at Galway over the last twelve months, across 20 race days. Here is how the track actually behaves - starting with the question everyone asks.
Do favourites win at Galway?
Favourites won 30% of their 166 runs here in the last twelve months (49 winners).
Joint favourites are counted. Across all UK and Irish racing the figure sits around a third, so anything well below that marks Galway out as a track where the market gets caught out more often than usual.
