Downpatrick Racecourse Guide
About
Downpatrick racecourse in County Down, Northern Ireland, is a small, friendly track that stages mainly National Hunt racing through the year.
The Track & Course
The course is a right-handed circuit of just over a mile and is one of the most undulating tracks in Ireland, finishing with a steep climb to the winning post. Horses need to be nimble on the downhill sections and still have plenty left for the final hill.
Going & Ground
The going can range from good in late spring to heavy in midwinter, and soft ground makes the final climb an even sterner test of stamina.
Key Races
The Ulster National, a staying handicap chase run in the spring, is the feature race and the meeting the course is best known for.
