We are fans of the Galways Races and the imaginative way they promote the big summer Festival. They announced yesterday they are partnering for the first time with flat jockey Amy Jo Hayes in advance of the 2024 gathering.
Hailing from Tipperary, Amy Jo Hayes will be part of the Ballybrit team in the build-up to and during the seven-day Festival.
Galway Races will treat their audience to exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses via their social media platforms, showcasing a blend of entertaining and informative content capturing the essence of a dedicated athlete’s journey, from triumphs to challenges and everything in between.
It is often the case that the best of stories come from those ‘on the pitch’ and having almost real time access to what Hayes will go through over the seven days will be great to follow.
“We have such a strong army of loyal passionate fans we wanted to bring them deeper into our sport and offer them fun content direct from within our industry,” said Chief Executive of Galway Racecourse Michael Moloney.
“We saw Amy Jo Hayes win her Horse Racing Ireland ‘Ride of the Year Award’ last year and had been following her journey.”
“She’s a very impressive hard-working jockey and what better way to showcase her journey than through the lens of Ireland’s largest horse racing festival, where we love to champion and promote emerging talent.”
“We invite everyone to join us on our social media channels as Amy Jo takes ‘the reigns’ and leads us into her world.”
“I’m absolutely delighted to be part of the Ballybrit Galway races team,” said Hayes.
“It’s an honour to be associated with such an exhilarating race week at the Galway festival. I’m looking forward to partnering my career with the Galway races team and can’t wait for what the future holds. Looking forward to seeing you all there for the Galway festival 2024.”
