Horse Racing

Horse Racing is probably the most gambled upon sport in Ireland and it is not for nothing that Irish bred and trained horses enjoy success all over the world. It would be impossible in this small section of Gambling.ie to publish details about all the racing fixtures that  are held throughout the year as it would be to try to give tips or insights into any particular horses or trainers and besides, there are enough newspapers or magazines who specialize in the field and there are more than enough tipsters out there who will gladly take your money for a bit of advice. We shall therefore focus on some information which we hope might be useful. Firstly, Irish Racecourses and where they are. There are 26 racecourses in Ireland which is the most per head of population in the world and in alphabetical order they are:- Ballinrobe, Bellewstown, Clonmel, Cork Mallow, Curragh, Down Royal, Downpatrick, Dundalk, Fairyhouse, Galway, Gowran Park, Kilbeggan, Killarney, Laytown, Leopardstown, Limerick, Listowel, Naas, Navan, Punchestown, Roscommon, Sligo, Thurles, Tipperary, Tramore and Wexford and their locations are shown on the map. You are never far a racecourse in Ireland.
