The 2018 Ballinrobe racing season kicks off on Friday, April 13, with record prize money of €1 million on offer at the Mayo track.
An additional date has also been added to the programme which now comprises 10 race days, seven National Hunt meetings, and three flat meetings including 13 feature races.
The start of the season will also see the completion of the new stone-clad main entrance gateway into the racecourse.
This is the final phase of capital development work at Ballinrobe through the Horse Racing Ireland (HRI ) Racecourse Capital Development Scheme.
