AN INSIGHT INTO IRELAND’S PRE-EMINENCE IN THE WORLD OF HORSE RACING AND THE STORY OF HOW IT ALL BEGAN

The race course is the theatre of dreams to many, and none more so than in Ireland. Few sports have such cultural resonance with the people of Ireland as horse racing, and even fewer share such a long and rich history.
