One of Ireland’s premier racecourses and home to the Irish Grand National, Fairyhouse has been hosting racing since 1848. While flat racing does take place at the County Meath venue it is national hunt racing that really shines here.
The three-day Easter meeting on which the Irish National falls sees two Grade 1s and a handful of Grade 2 and 3 contests, while the Hattons Grace Hurdle meeting in December is one of the best of the winter. A wide galloping track, but with particularly stiff fences, the track is ideal for finding the best around.
