#2 - When Football and Horse Racing Collide

Are you a horse racing fan? If so, you won't want to miss this episode of the "Let's Be Having You Galway". Former All-Star and All-Ireland winner, Padraic Joyce, joins host Paul Collins to discuss his love of horse racing and the challenges of managing a football team while running a business.

 

We are then joined by Michael Moloney, the current CEO of Galway Races, who talks about the excitement of planning for the festival and the improvements made to the racecourse. He discusses how the festival has changed over the years and how it has become more of a festival than just a racing event.

 

John Moloney, former manager of Galway Racecourse, also joins the conversation. He reflects on the changes he has seen in the racing industry over the years and credits the success of Galway Racecourse to the hard work of the committee and the foresight of former chairman Paddy Ryan, who pushed for the redevelopment of the racecourse.
