Patrick Mullins Says...
" I'm delighted to work with Race and Stay to welcome our many guests to this top-class festival and if 2023 was anything to go by then 2024 will be another fabulous four days. Leopardstown stages some of the best racing in Ireland and the Christmas Festival is one we target with all of our best horses. The big races are very prestigious and all races have excellent prize money on offer. A great festival, a fabulous racecourse and a very fair track to ride with a stiff finish, Leopardstown is a racecourse everyone wants to win at. I Hope to meet you there."
