" I'm delighted to work with Race and Stay to welcome our many guests to this top-class festival and if previous years are anything to go by then 2026 will be another fabulous weekend. Leopardstown stages some of the best racing in Ireland and the Dublin Racing Festival is one we target with all of our best horses.
