WHERE TO WATCH THE HORSES
THE PARADE RING
Take a closer look at the horses before you place your bet.
Horses enter the Parade Ring approximately 15 minutes before their race.
Listen out for the bell, which signifies that all the jockeys have been weighed out and are about to mount their horses and ride out to the track.
THE MAURICE O’DONOGHUE STAND
The Maurice O’Donoghue stand boasts a commanding view positioned directly on the finishing line and gives the best vantage point on the track.
THE TRACK
Experience the atmosphere as the horses thunder past the post.
Watching a race from the rails gets you as close as possible to the horses as they race past.
THE WINNERS’ ENCLOSURE
Enjoy the winners coming back to a rapturous applause and the trophy presentations after the race.
The Winners’ Enclosure is located inside the Parade Ring and this is where the winning and placed horses are reunited with their owners.
Trophies are presented by the sponsor or racecourse to the winning owner.
