BUSY PERIOD AT GALWAY WITH ENTRIES INVITED FOR GALWAY OAKS AND MORE
Peter Farrell
We're entering a busy period at Galway Greyhound Stadium over the coming weeks, with entries now being accepted for a number of valuable competitions, headed by the 2026 On Faya Galway Oaks 525.
The 2025 running of the event was landed by the brilliant Badly Behaving and proved an outstanding success, attracting some of the fastest bitches in training. With another €10,000 on offer to the eventual winner, the 2026 renewal should prove every bit as competitive. The competition is scheduled to get underway on Friday, 17th July, so connections are encouraged to submit their entries as soon as possible. Details of the trial schedule are also available below.
