"Galway is a flagship for racing in this country."
In an interview for 'Galway for the Races', trainer Edward O'Grady told Barry Henriques of the 'Kilkenny People': "I love Galway. I have so many great memories of Ballybrit, so many friends around Galway. For a whole raft of reasons, it has become one of the great shining lights of the Irish racing scene. It is no secret why it has achieved the great regard it has in people's estimation.
Galway is a flagship for racing in this country, particularly steeplechasing racing. It is a hugely progressive track with an enormously hard-working and dedicated Committee, and a Manager (John Moloney) who must be the envy of all other racing venues around the country."
Edward recalled his best memories of the Galway Races: "I have so many great days, and great memories, since I first started training and taking horses to Galway, but if pressed, I suppose, in deference to other great horses and great acclaim, I would have to say that winning the double with Hindhope and Hard Tarquin on successive days (1979) with Jonjo (O'Neill) in the saddle would probably rank as the best memory."
