Wexford — 4 November 2026: Racecard Summary
Yesterday’s card at Wexford was run on yielding (yielding to soft in places; watered) ground and produced several decisive performances. Palinca and The Big Westerner both made all to win convincingly, while An Peann Dearg provided one of the bigger-priced surprises of the day. The testing ground led to a number of non-runners/reserves and a couple of incidents on the track — Reflectionist fell in the handicap and Portetta unseated her rider.
Key moments and winners
Palinca (Henry De Bromhead/Darragh O’Keeffe) dominated the opener, travelling strongly and going clear after 2 out to win comfortably. In the rated novice hurdle Paul Nolan’s An Peann Dearg (18/1) came from off the pace to lead after 2 out and held on when ridden; the trainer reported a change in preparation had helped. Walking Saint took the 14:05 maiden for Paul Nolan with a well-timed run, while The Big Westerner (Henry De Bromhead/Darragh O’Keeffe) bolted up in the Listed Michael Hickey Memorial Chase, making all and cruising clear from 2 out. The Big Clubman won the beginners’ chase after being pushed to lead before the last, and the card finished with Shine On Sam edging out the strong-favourite Hartford in the INH Flat finale.
There were a number of non-runners declared unsuitable for the ground across the card and a couple of incidents of note: Reflectionist fell two out in the handicap and Portetta unseated her rider. The Besty Woman (7/4) was pulled up in the rated novice after apparently stopping quickly.

Wexford Race Results
Wexford stages 14 National Hunt fixtures in 2026, running from St Patrick’s Day in March to late October and including five evening meetings. Wexford switched from right- to left-handed in early 2015, when the track was also extended by two furlongs, and Flat racing was dropped in June 2016 to focus on the National Hunt programme.

Racecourse Guide
Wexford is an undulating left-handed circuit of about a mile and a half which provides a solid test for the horses and riders. Usually attracting good-sized fields and competitive racing, Wexford is one of Ireland’s popular countryside tracks and is situated on the east coast. Since the extension it has become a stiffer track, with a climb in the back straight and a sharp rise off the home turn that continues uphill all the way to the winning post, so it now suits stayers more than speedy front runners. The going can also vary around the track owing to the undulations.
Top Irish trainers Willie Mullins, Henry de Bromhead and Gordon Elliott are all regularly represented at Wexford. In October 2022 the Aintree Grand National winner Noble Yeats won the Listed M.W. Hickey Memorial Chase at Wexford for Trainer Emmet Mullins. The gelding followed up by winning the Grade 2 Many Clouds Chase at Aintree but could not quite repeat his Grand National heroics in 2023, eventually finishing fourth behind Corach Rambler.
The same Wexford race had been won by Minella Indo in 2020 who went on to win the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup for Henry de Bromhead. The horse finished second to stable companion A Plus Tard in the 2022 Gold Cup.
