Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby
The Irish Derby is the biggest event on the Irish racing calendar. On race day the Curragh - one of the oldest sporting venues in Europe - is the focus of a nation united by its love of racing.
The Curragh is the headquarters of Flat Racing in Ireland, hosting all
five Classic Races. Horse-racing is a national obsession and the course,
with its historic traditions, is a perfect venue for the expression of
this passion. Whether you're a racing fan or not, a visit to this track
on a big race day is an unforgettable experience.
Racing is
rooted in the Irish psyche and written evidence of the sport can be
dated back to the third century, when chariot races were held at the Cuireach - the Gaelic word for racecourse and the site of the Curragh today.
When: 26 Jun 2011
