Irish Racing Legends

Wherever racing folk gather the name of Ireland and the reputation of its horses, trainers, jockeys and breeders are held in the highest esteem. The influence of the country on horse racing has been enormous and it's only fitting that the people who fashioned the success are given due recognition. The best bred horses in the world are Irish and so too the trainers and jockeys.

  Irishracinglegends.com goes a long way towards satisfying the long-felt need for a reference archive containing as much information about Ireland's rich tapestry of achievements over the last 70-odd years. It's a period when the country grew exponentially, going from a bit-player on the fringes to a global leader.

  It's a detailed site cataloguing the results of every major Group and Grade race run under both Flat and National Hunt codes, as well as highlighting some of Irish racing's finest ambassadors and their remarkable achievements both at home and abroad.

  People are the key and none of the success would have been possible without the skilled horsemen and women who are an integral part of the fabric of Irish life. We have an affinity with the horse, an affinity that no other nation can match.

  It features legendary trainers Vincent O'Brien, Paddy 'Darkie' Prendergast, Aidan O'Brien, Dermot Weld, Tom Dreaper, Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, as well as world-class jockeys like Ruby Walsh, Pat Taaffe, Tommy Carberry, Michael Kinane and Johnny Murtagh.

  In essence the website is a celebration of the influence of Ireland on the world of horse racing. We're a nation of horse lovers and that'll never change.
