Galway Races: 2nd Leg of the Budweiser weather presenter auditions and Scott Campbell bets on Bahrain Storm

In Galway for the races? Even if you’re not, read on for the chance of a free pint!

There’s an open invite to the Galway Races Budweiser Ice Cold Index party at The Skeffington Arms Hotel in Eyre Square on Saturday from 4pm. Rugby star DJ Cian Healy is on the decks and Jennifer Maguire is MC for the Galway leg of the auditions to find Scott Campbell’s weather presenting co-star for a national TV campaign.

The Budweiser Ice Cold Index (a smartphone app that gives you money off your pint on hot days ‘the hotter the day the less you pay’ if you haven’t heard the spiel) are holding three heats to find a co-star for their weatherman Scott Campbell. The Dublin date has already passed but there’s still a chance to try out in Galway on Saturday or next month in Cork. Each heat has one winner who bags €1,000 on the night with the overall eventual winner getting a trip to Los Angeles as well as the weather presenting gig.

Meanwhile, if you’re not up west for the fest…

Scott’s hanging around Ballybrit today and he’s betting on Bahrain Storm in the Galway Plate at today’s race meeting. If he finishes in the top 3, Index App users get a free pint. You have to have registered beforehand though, so hedge your bets now and you might nab a consoling drink.

Fingers crossed!
