The two day October Bank Holiday meeting kicks off on Sunday, October 25 with the first race at 1.30pm, and Bank Holiday Monday October 26 at 1.25pm.  There are 14 races, generously sponsored by many local firms over two great days of competitive National Hunt racing, with an impressive total prize fund of over €215,000 on offer which is sure to attract runners from many of Ireland’s top stables. The feature race on Sunday is “The Faber Audiovisuals Handicap Hurdle” and on Monday “The Ennis Lifts Handicap Steeplechase”.
