TG4 is thrilled to confirm two days of live racing coverage from the Galway Races Summer Festival 2026, with R\u00e1sa\u00ed Beo broadcasting over four hours of live action again each day on Friday 31st of July and Saturday 1st August.
\n <\/p>\n

A highlight of the Irish sporting calendar, R\u00e1sa\u00ed Beo returns to Ballybrit for another unmissable weekend of horse racing drama. All 16 races across the two days will be shown live, including Friday\u2019s feature race, The Guinness Handicap (6:35pm), won in 2025 by the Jarlath Fahey-trained Nans View with Lee Roach aboard, and Saturday\u2019s standout, the BoyleSports Galway Tribes Handicap Hurdle (2:37pm), taken last year by Come On The Lads, piloted by Eoin Staples and trained by Gavin Cromwell.
\n 
\nThe R\u00e1sa\u00ed Beo team will be on-site with a full suite of expert analysis and commentary. Presenter Se\u00e1n B\u00e1n Breathnach leads the coverage alongside analysts M\u00e1nus \u00d3 Conghaile and Sarah Lynam, with Daragh \u00d3 Conch\u00fair, Meghann Scully reporting from trackside and around the racetrack with Mike \u00d3 S\u00e9 providing commentary.
\n 
\nR\u00e1sa\u00ed Beo is produced by Nemeton TV, based in the Waterford Gaeltacht of An Rinn. The production team is also behind TG4\u2019s much-loved Laochra Gael, Peil na mBan Beo, and GAA Beo.
\n 
\nFans can also enjoy coverage highlights, race previews, and behind-the-scenes moments across Sp\u00f3rt TG4\u2019s social media channels.
