They were cancelled in 2020, and it seemed as if they might suffer the same fate this year, but Horse Racing Ireland has announced that Laytown Races, which were due to be held on Thursday September 2, will now be rescheduled to Monday November 1.
Joe Collins, Laytown Races Chairman, said: “Laytown Races is in a unique position as we race under temporary facilities and our racetrack, on the beach, is open to the public.
“After consultation with all key stakeholders, there were still some concerns about how we could implement the government guidelines next month, especially on the beach.
“I would like to thank Horse Racing Ireland and the IHRB for their help rescheduling our race meeting and we look forward to racing on Laytown Strand on November 1.”
