The Irish love of horse racing is renowned, and seeing it at The Curragh is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. As the horses speed up the home straight, your heart is pounding faster than the thundering hooves, louder than the clamour of the crowd…amazing it’s to get swept away by the adrenaline of the sprinting horses in front of you, pure uncontrolled exhilaration.
The Curragh is at the heart of Ireland’s thoroughbred horse industry, and in addition to regular race days, the racecourse holds all five Irish flat-racing Classics, including the oldest, the Irish Derby, which dates back to 1866.
