Laytown Course Guide
Tips from Laytown are rare as this is a unique course because it is not a racecourse but a beach!
There is one meeting a year that takes place in September on the east coast of Ireland.
This is the only event that takes place on a beach on the English and Irish racing calendar.
Races are run over either 6f or 7f whilst the track is straight with the sand levelled out and we have a Laytown Meeting Blog covering all of the races.
TV Channel: Racing TV
For more information on this unique fixture, you can visit the Official Laytown Races Website.
