Race Night

One of the best supported events of the year is the annual race night. There is a race card comprising of 10 races with 10 horses in each race. You can support this event by buying a horse or sponsoring a race. If you buy a horse you can choose a name for the horse and prizes will be given to 1st, 2nd & 3rd place horse owners. If you sponsor a race the name of your company will be printed in the program. On the race night you may place a bet on each race or buy a horse in the last race.To buy a horse or sponsor a race please contact Denis MacSweeny on 021 4294479.

The 2004 race night was in Blackrock Hurling Club on Friday 14th May. It was a very successful event and well attended by the younger members. The auction race was won by the syndicate of Paul Farrelly and Mark Wickham.
