Curragh Racecourse Went with family and friends to Ireland’s top racecourse and premier racetrack, The Curragh Racecourse in Ireland for the Opening Ceremony and Guineas Festival 24-26th May 2019. Being a horse owner, and one of our racehorses, Saltonstall, trained in Ireland by Ado McGuinness, running on the Friday night, we had access to the Owners Lounge on the 1st floor which overlooked the Parade Ring but not the racecourse which was a little disappointing and, because of its size, I believe would struggle to accommodate owners and trainers on big race days. However, as recent owners of racehorses, we were buzzing and looking forward to the day ahead. We were lucky enough to be able to visit the stables, with the trainers to make sure our horse had settled in before the race and we were allowed to go inside the parade ring to meet up with the Trainers and the jockey and see all the fine horses close up.

My son, daughter in law and myself travelled from Manchester to see one of our racehorses, Saltonstall, trained in Ireland by Ado McGuinness, run in the 2.30pm 1mile race, and as relatively new horse owners we were very excited and looking forward to the day and weekend ahead. Blarney Castle As we arrived early in the morning we decided to visit Blarney Castle which is only 8km from Cork airport.

Doncaster Races A group of 30, family and friends, went to Doncaster Racecourse, which is a top racing course in South Yorkshire, for the famous Lincoln race held on the 30th March 2019. We were travelling to Doncaster to see our racehorse Saltonstall, trained in Ireland by Ado McGuinness, run in the main race of the day. It was a very exciting experience and our first main runner for Dooley Thoroughbreds at a major UK racecourse. You can have sole ownership of a racehorse or form a syndicate with friends which offers fun and excitement for a smaller investment. We decided to travel over on the Friday afternoon so all the family could meet up the evening before and soak up the atmosphere. Location It is a fantastic venue in a great location with good motorway links, car parking facilities and train links (one of my sons got the train up from London and had no problems getting to the venue). Hilton Garden Inn Doncaster There were lots of Doncaster hotels to choose from but we wanted one near Doncaster racecourse - well we couldn’t have got any closer! We decided to stay at the brand new Hilton Garden Inn which is situated next to the course. The Hilton Garden Inn turned out to be a great choice.
