Another of Ireland’s picturesque racing jewels, racing has taken place on the current Sligo course for over 60 years, with racing in the area going back over 300 years. In more recent times, the venue has been well developed with a new grandstand and jockey changing facilities installed in 2015.
On the track, Sligo hosts eight meetings in total, mixing being flat and jumps from May to September. The course boasts a fairly short straight, so the ability to get into a position before turning for home is vital.
