WELCOME TO IRISH RACING GREATS
Wherever horse racing folk gather in the world, the name of Ireland and the reputations of its horses, trainers, jockeys and breeders are held in the highest regard. The influence of the country on the world of horse racing has been enormous and it is only fitting that the people who fashioned it into becoming one of the major players in the sport are given due recognition.
We feel that irishracinggreats.com goes a long way towards satisfying the long-felt need for a reference archive containing as much information as possible about Ireland's equine heroes and their achievements over the last 50 years.
It's a detailed site cataloguing the results of every major Group and Grade race run under both Flat and National Hunt codes as well as highlighting some of Irish racing's finest ambassadors and their achievements both at home and abroad, including marquee events like the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot.
Featured among many others are legendary trainers Vincent O'Brien, Paddy 'Darkie' Prendergast, Aidan O'Brien, John Oxx, Dermot Weld, Tom Dreaper, Paddy Sleator, Edward O'Grady and Willie Mullins as well as world-class jockeys like Pat Taaffe, Ruby Walsh, Tommy Carberry, Mick Kinane, Christy Roche and Johnny Murtagh.
Irishracinggreats.com is, in essence, a celebration of the influence of Ireland on the world of horse racing.
We hope you enjoy it.
