The Curragh has
a long standing tradition in racing. Home to the Budweiser Irish
Derby and a number of Group 1, 2 and 3 races it is truly the "home
of the classics".
The course itself is fairly flat and affords
great spectator viewing from the updated grandstands and visitor
facilities. Situated on the Curragh Plains in COUNTY KILDARE about
40 minutes drive from DUBLIN AIRPORT, Admission Charges vary,
according to the meeting in question, £10 on normal race days
(approx $13), and up to £35 (approx $45) on Budweiser Derby
Day.
The
facilities at the Curragh are excellent, Wheelchair access is
possible to most area's, the Restaurants are high quality and even
on the busiest of days the service is very
good.
IMPORTANT:
If you are planning a trip to the IRISH DERBY please be
aware that this is a very busy meeting and that unless you book
in advance you may not be able to get accommodation and transport
arranged. PLEASE ENSURE that you use the BUDWEISER IRISH
DERBY link HERE
for more information on Where to Stay, Transport and Nightlife.

Flat racing
takes place here and is great spectator sport. The course itself is
fairly large and on DERBY DAY gets crowded easily, but somehow they
seem to fit everyone in allright!
