A NEW book telling the history of Mitchelstown Races was launched in The Hunter’s Rest in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, last Saturday.

Written by Ollie O’Donoghue, the book brings together rare photographs, reports, and all the facts and figures from 125 years of racing at Mitchelstown, as well as insightful interviews with those who were present. The last meeting at Mitchelstown took place in 1958.
