Celtic Tiger admission prices!)
Anyone who has ever attended the Galway Races will recall with a smile the invigorating thrill of the racing; the spine-tingling roar from the grandstands as the horses gallop towards the winning post; the fun and the laughter, the anecdotes and the banter in the company of friends.
Life is about creating memories to sustain and entertain us in times of reflection.
As Wordsworth said:
"But oft, in lonely rooms, and 'mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart."
Thus it is with the Galway Races. For generations of Irish men and women, the colourful memories of fun-filled summers at Ballybrit have brightened many a bleak winter night.
Take our advice. Get out to Ballybrit, even for a day, and you'll collect enough "auld yarns" and memories to keep you going till the hard times pass.
However - if, like thousands of others this year, you can't afford Galway's Celtic Tiger ADMISSION PRICES, why not enjoy RTE's coverage from the comfort of your armchair or at your local?
You'll see much more than the average racegoer usually sees and all in high definition close-up with instantaneous action replays - plus entertaining and informative comments from Ted Walsh, Brian Gleeson and a dramatis personae of jockeys, trainers, bookmakers, owners, etc.
No traffic congestion and no queueing!
You'll save €30 admission fee on Ladies' Day, €3 on a racecard, and God knows many more euros on racecourse-priced meals, snacks, drinks, etc.
€66 for you and your partner BEFORE you even start to eat, drink and BET ...
What? Did I hear you say that you were planning to bring your whole family?
Do you know that this festival of self-indulgence and conspicuous consumption rampages unabated for seven long spendthrift days?
Are you a millionaire or a masochist?
