Fairyhouse Racecourse

The venue of the Irish Grand National as well as the Hatton Grace Winter Festival in December, Fairyhouse is a big track, almost two miles around over fences with 12 in the circuit. Not too stiff a track, very different to Navan, the last mile and a quarter at Fairyhouse is downhill or even. It stages a lot of Flat racing in the summer and also has an inside track which hosts midweek fixtures during the winter. That’s a much tighter track but does serve its purpose and it is a fine racecourse.
