Irish Derby 2009 Attendance

Irish Derby 2009 - Official attendance 23,271
15 per cent down on Irish Derby 2008

Irish Derby 2009 - €1.6m bet with the bookies
Irish Derby 2008 - €2.1m bet with bookies

The Galway Race Committee must act decisively to avoid the same fate.
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
Now that the tent pegs have been uprooted, what next?

In The Mullioned Snug last night, the following song titles were suggested by a trio of disillusioned tipplers:

'Galway Races - The Thrill Is Gone'
'Galway Races - Those Were The Days'
'Galway Races - Yesterday, All My Troubles Seemed So Far Away'
'Galway Races - The Carnival Is Over'
'Galway Races - Save The Last Dance For Me'
'Galway Races - A Nation Turns Its Lonely Eyes to You'

Galway Races - A Beaten Docket?
I hope not.
