AHEAD of Irish Champions Weekend, the Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR) wish the very best of luck to all involved, especially their member teams at Leopardstown and the Curragh Racecourses.

Longines Irish Champions Weekend has become the pinnacle of the Irish flat racing season, with all the ingredients present to make for a top-class festival of racing. Worth €4.15 million in total prize money this year, with champions crowned in each division from two-year-old fillies and colts to star sprinters and stayers, and no less than six Group 1 races over the two days, there really is something on the menu for everyone.
