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
