The 2022 Galway Plate is one of the big feature races at this week’s 7-day Galway Festival. 12 months ago we saw the Willie Mullins-trained Royal Rendezvous land the race, while with three wins in the last six renewals anything the Gordon Elliott yard runs has to be respected.
To help you find the winner, Andy Newton takes a look at the latest betting, each horses probability of winning and the main 2022 Galway Plate trends.

Look For Horses Aged 9 Or Younger and Respect 7 Year-Olds
With a monster 95% of the last 19 Galway Plate winners aged 9 or younger this is a ‘must-have’ stat to have onside. However, the bad news is most horses tick this trend, with only the 11 year-old Castlegrace Paddy falling down.
But with 47% of the last 19 winners aged 7, this is certainly worth a look with FIRE ATTACK, GABYNAKO and HEWICK the only three runners of this age in the race.
89% Of The Last 19 Winners Carried 10st 13lbs Or Less
Another key trend to respect to the weight carried. Being a handicap race then this stats had built-up over the years, with a massive 89% or the last 19 winners carrying 10st 13lbs or less. If this is to be repeated again, the top 15 on the card can be ruled out!
That only leaves us with 7 runners (from the 22) – Exelerator Express, Hurricane Georgie, The Jam Man, Ash Tree Meadow, Fire Attack, Gin On Lime and Discordantly.
12 Of The Last 19 Winners (63%) Finished In The Top 4 Last Time
Coming into the race in fair form is another good trend to look out for, with 63% of the last 19 winners having a top four finish in their latest race to their name.
Of the seven that tick the weight trend, Exelerator Express, Hurricane Georgie, Ash Tree Meadow, Fire Attack, Gin On Lime and Discordantly fit the bill.
Respect Any Gordon Elliott-trained Runners
The Gordon Elliott yard love to target this race – they’ve won the pot three times in the last 6 years and so their runners – Hurricane Georgie, Ash Tree Meadow and Battleoverdoyen have to be on anyone’s shortlist.
21% Winning Galway Plate Favourites In The Last 19 Years
Considering the competitive nature of the race, it’s not been a bad one for the market leader with 5 winning jollies in the last 19 renewals.
At this stage calling a clear favourite is hard, but the likes of The Shunter, Cape Gentleman, El Barra, Gabynako and Fire Attack are five horses that have been popular in the betting in te build-up to the race.
Which Galway Plate Horses Get The Trends Thumbs Up?
Taking the above-mentioned stats into account there are three horses that standout – FIRE ATTACK, ASH TREE MEADOW and HURRICANE GEORGIE.
FIRE ATTACK @ 7/1 with BoyleSports – One of just three 7 year-old in the race and with a nice racing weight of 10-10 can go well. He’s also got another 3lbs coming off his weight with claiming jockey Shane Fitzgerald riding, and heads here in great form having won at Punchestown at the end of May. Up 7lbs for that win means more is needed, but is lightly-raced over fences with just four runs, so should have scope for improvement.
ASH TREE MEADOW @ 8/1 with BoyleSports – One from the Gordon Elliott trio of runners and is sure to be popular with a string of wins next to his name. Comes here on a four-timer after a top summer campaign so far and has won 3 of his 4 career runs over fences. The latest was an easy 6 length success at Killarney.
HURRICANE GEORGIE @ 12/1 with BoyleSports – Another runner for Gordon Elliott that looks to have a leading chance. The first interesting thing to note here is that jockey Jack Kennedy, who rode Ash Tree Meadow last time out to win, prefers to stick with this 5 year-old after partnering him to win at Kilbeggan earlier this month. She’s won her last three now and despite being up another 11lbs here, stays further which connections are sure to make full use of.
