Patrick Says...

"The Curragh stages some of the best flat racing in Ireland and the feature days are the ones we target with all of our best horses. The big races are very prestigious and all races have excellent prize money on offer. A fabulous racecourse and a very fair track to ride with a stiff finish, The Curragh is a racecourse I always love to win at."
