Leopardstown Horse Racing Results

Leopardstown is the premier dual-purpose racecourse in Ireland, boasting action of the very highest quality both on the Flat and under National Hunt rules throughout the year. Conveniently located just 8km south of Dublin city centre, it hosts a total of 23 meetings throughout the year which feature a total of 13 Grade 1 races over jumps and two Group 1 races on the Flat.

While there is a steady stream of Group action on the Flat throughout the summer months, the centrepiece of Leopardstown’s Flat calendar is Irish Champion Stakes day which now makes up one half of Irish Champions Weekend in September. The featured Irish Champion Stakes is regularly rated as one of the best races in the world and has been won by the likes of Giant’s Causeway, High Chaparral, Sea The Stars and Snow Fairy.

Leopardstown hosts a series of highly-significant meetings during the winter months such as the Irish Champion Hurdle meeting in January and the Hennessy Gold Cup meeting in February, but pride of place goes to the Christmas Festival. Held over the course of four days from St Stephan’s Day onwards, it hosts seven Grade 1 races that give top-class horses in almost every division a chance to shine and it attracts the biggest crowds of the year to the track.
