[Magpie]

Not been for 10 years myself, but going bsvk
in Feb. If you like the Guinness, Bowes pub is fairly central and get a nice crowd in.

[Mighty]

Anyone off to Trials Day this Saturday and up for a FJ pint before the racing? Would be good to meet a few stalwarts.

[Lobos]

I'll be there all guns blazing in the Best Mate !!

Only having one bet in the first race on the beast!

[Bonjers]

Decided to head up tomorrow - cracking card and a few pints in Deya afterwards. Happy days!

[Mighty]

Currently sat in the Plough at Prestbury next to some chaps from Fergal’s yard. Apparently Autonomous Cloud at Uttoxeter is a good thing!

Anyone up for a quick pint before the racing tomorrow?

[opatcho]

Heading down tomorrow! First time since lock down, and really looking forward to a really good card!

DRF for me, flying out tomorrow.

I go Punchestown in April often but last went to Leop in 2020 for the DRF and it was superb, buzzing for it.

Have a brilliant time boys. Enjoy!!!

Looking forward to my first trip to Musselburgh for months. Likely to feel a bit of a geriatric though as there will apparently be a very large student contingent there. Going with the Mrs so better make sure I am only looking at form

Was my first time at the Dublin Racing Festival… was last minute but so glad I went

Loved the course and it surroundings, was able to get around to the parade ring and back out to the stands fairly easy despite it being a busy weekend

2 days is perfect, long enough to get into the experience but short enough where you’re so drained and wishing the races away

Great race card - the Irish Arkle was the standout for me. Although, wasnt 100% interested on the mares bumper in the last - I suppose you can’t have it all

Glad I got to seek Honeysuckle in person, I’m not going to the Cheltenham festival so it was the last time. Both (Blackmore and Honey) a great reception in the parade ring

Being allowed to take your drinks out on the grandstand!!! Yayayayy

Negatives: I guess it’s the same with most venues that host a major event, certain facilities struggle at peak times. Typical queues for the toilets and for food. I thought the food there was the below par - limited outlets or vendors. Luckily, I was there for the horse racing, not for a gourmet food. Easily solved by eating before and after

Overall, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 60 euros for the two days! Flight and accommodation was ok too, I could have done it cheaper if I had planned it better

It’s a festival I will definitely do again, had a great weekend
