Sligo Racecourse

Sligo is the stiffest racecourse in Ireland. From the winning post you turn sharp right-handed and descend to the bottom of the hill before you climb for the last four furlongs home. Only a mile in the round, it was recently well drained so doesn’t get as soft as it used to. But it’s a very stiff track and stages an all-chase card in September. Other than that, it’s hurdles and flat with a long punt home in the last five furlongs.
