The Galway Plate is a National Hunt chase in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older.
It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late July or early August.
The most successful horse in the race's history is Tipperary Boy, who won three times – in 1899, 1901 and 1902.
The Galway Plate was sponsored by William Hill from 2006 to 2010 and by Tote Ireland since 2011.
Her sister, Sarah Collen, was also the first lady jockey to win the Galway Plate aboard Bold Flyer in 1989.
