A day filled with family fun and dual racing!
Dundalk Stadium was a buzz of excitement on Saturday with one of the busiest race days in years for the annual Family Funday & Dual Race Day sponsored by BAR 1 Betting.
The day attracted big crowds to enjoy the kids zone and dual racing, fantastic live music, and there was an electric atmosphere from early afternoon to late evening.
The Dual Race Day programme featured an exciting mix of horse and greyhound racing, with the final of the BAR 1 Betting Irish Sprint Cup; the feature event that evening. Attendees witnessed TIERMANA DREAM, trained by Colm Fitzgerald be a runaway winner. Owned by the Zero Zero Syndicate in Co Clare, the son of Ballyhimkin Jet and Tiermana Jetty came into the stake with a huge reputation as one of the fastest two bend performers in Ireland.
The afternoon horse racing was sponsored by BAR 1 Betting and Irish Stallion Farms EBF who sponsored the afternoon feature race, The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Red God Premier Handicap which was won by Touch The Moon under Chris Hayes and for trainer William Durkan, owned by Four D Partnership.
The Family Funday kids zone was enjoyed by many families with free pony rides, a play bus, face painters, magician and inflatable slide & games plus the new option this year of ‘pay per ride’ carnival amusements, an ice cream & sweet treats van.
Live music kept the crowd energised into the evening with performances from bands Vertigo and Paddy Byrne followed by 17 Vending DJ.
Dundalk Stadium continues to host racing every Friday and Saturday evening and looks forward to welcoming visitors back for more exciting fixtures throughout the year, with the European Driving Championships organised by the Irish Harness Racing Association on Sunday 23rd August; an exhilarating day of activities open to all ages and Friday Night Lights horse racing returning every Friday from 18th September
