Horse Racing in Limerick
Horse Racing in Limerick goes back hundreds of years, the locals have always liked the excitement, thrills and spills of racing. The Racecourse has had a new lease of life since 2001. Flat or National Hunt, Limerick Racecourse is a serious test for Horse and Jockey. The track is wide, with an inside track for hurdles, and with fences that can be moved there’s always fresh ground. Still being developed and well on target to become a Grade 1 track, it’s a brilliant track for a novice chaser, and it suits stayers too. The back straight has a tough 20 metre rise and the home straight features a decline as the field swings round the last bend, with a testing climb to the finish post. Limerick Races has quickly become popular with trainers, owners and jockeys. Ruby Walsh described it: “It’s a good track, I love riding here when it’s soft.
Highlight events at Limerick Racecourse are the Munster National in October and their four-day Christmas Festival.
