Perhaps the most famous horse to grace the field here was Doran’s Pride, a Stayers’ Hurdle winner and second twice in the Cheltenham Gold Cup during the 1990s. Ballinrobe encapsulates what Irish racing is all about.

    The Effect of the Draw

    For both Flat and Jumps racing, Ballinrobe racecourse tends to favour speedy types, with the closing stages being downhill. With a sharp home turn on the flat course, you don’t want to be challenging around the outside, as you can get pushed wide and lose a lot of ground.
