Tipperary Race Results
Tipperary is a popular Grade 2 dual purpose track which has been operating from its current location since 1916. It used to be called “Limerick Junction”, owing to its literal location, but the name was changed in 1986. It currently stages 11 race meetings with a mixture of flat and jumps between April and October.
The biggest race day of the year at Tipperary is a high-quality mixed card in October known as “Super Sunday”. It features the Group 3 Concorde Stakes on the flat and the Grade 2 Tipperary Hurdle plus two Grade 3 National Hunt novice events. There is one other Group 3 race staged at Tipperary; the Fairy Bridge Stakes in August.
The Tipperary Hurdle was formerly run as the John James McManus Memorial Hurdle and the first three renewals were won by the legendary Istabraq (1997-1999). He was trained locally by Aidan O’Brien who has since gone on to become one of the greatest flat racing trainers of all time. He has won maiden races here with the likes of High Chaparral, Hawk Wing and Dylan Thomas.

Racecourse Guide
Tipperary is a flat, left-handed oval course of about ten furlongs with a five furlong chute for sprint contests. The sprint track joins the main track at the entrance to the home straight which is two and a half furlongs from the winning post.
The Chase course is on the inside of the hurdles track so it is certainly on the sharp side. There are six fences to a circuit and it favours slick jumping front-runners over the long striding staying horses. However, the ground can get really deep here in winter which turns it into a real stamina test.
Dining, Hospitality & Facilities
The recently refurbished Restaurant at Tipperary is located on the first floor of the Limerick Stand. It has panoramic views of the racecourse and the Silvermine Mountains. Catering is available for up to 170 buffet style or 130 silver service. The High Chaparral Room can be reserved for parties from 20 to 170 and can be adapted to provide groups and charities with their perfect day at the races.
Tipperary is the only racecourse in Ireland that is adjacent to a railway station. Limerick Junction is just a five minute walk from the track. There are regular trains from Dublin (Heuston Station) and Cork to Limerick Junction on race days.
Tickets
You can book your Tipperary admission tickets online. General Enclosure tickets provide access to the entire racecourse enclosure including the main Istabraq Bar and both grandstands. Tipperary also offer a Bumper Bundle which is a value package on premium days (Friday to Sunday). It includes a catering voucher, drink voucher and a £5 Tote Bet.
The Effect of the Draw
A low draw is a big advantage in seven furlong races here as the bend comes up quickly after the start. The five furlong track is one of the fastest in the country and, while there is no obvious draw bias on fast ground, high numbers have the advantage when the going is soft or heavy.
