Leopardstown Races

Horse racing is very big here in Ireland. One sunny, Sunday afternoon, we decided to go to the races. It was the first steeplechase race of the season in Ireland. We were surprised how many people were flocking in the gates when we arrived, and even more surprised to see all the ladies in their fur coats! There is a race every 30 minutes and between 6 and 20 horses in each race run the track and jump the hurdles. Very, very fun to watch. We placed a few 2 euro bets...won a few, lost a few. We had a great time and may go again.
