With racing being hosted in Punchestown since 1824, the area has become increasingly fond of racing. Those who attend the course seem to do it almost religiously, and there are seventeen fixtures per year.

The course also has its very own horse racing festival, the Punchestown Festival. It can be described as being the equivalent to Cheltenham, only in Ireland.

Punchestown Course Overview

The course has two separate tracks for National Hunt racing, the chase track and the hurdles track, with both courses having differing characteristics and level of difficulties.

The chase circuit is a true test of stamina and jumping ability. It is a right-handed, square course that has eleven fences to a full circuit, with those fences being stiff but fair.

The fences rarely cause issues for many experienced jumpers, with the main test for them (and the rest of the field) being the uphill final five furlongs; This can truly catch out those who have nothing left to spare after their trip.

The hurdles course runs along the inside of the chase circuit and is seen as a much more difficult test. The ground on the track isn’t as flat on this track and rather more undulating; This means that when the similar uphill final furlongs do come around, the best travellers always shape as the most likely winners.

Due to the home straights on both courses being uphill, the course rather favours the more prominent and handier types.

The course doesn’t require you to be a frontrunner to win, rather than if your horse prefers to run off the pace and towards the backend of the field then they must be a strong traveller to make up the ground required on an uphill climb.

The inside rail is also a preferred spot due to how runners can cut out a lot of the ground on the corners, especially as the  bends are longer rather than sharp, so you will often see jockeys fighting for the rail for the entire trip.

Viewing at Punchestown Racecourse

The views at Punchestown Racecourse are very racing orientated, with the course being left in solitude. However, this true isolation from neighbouring buildings or forests does mean that meetings at the venue have been abandoned for heavy winds as there is no protection.

The backdrop of hills and fields makes both the perfect photo, and a good colour difference to the horses as they travel round the course.

The grandstand easily has the best seats/standing spots in the entire course. The flat-topped building can become incredibly packed at the big meetings and it is crucial to get there early and secure a good spot.

From the grandstand there is a great view of the finish line, the home bend and also the hustle and bustle on the concourse – which is entertaining viewing too!

Those fortunate enough to go to Punchestown Racecourse are incredibly lucky, especially if they get to attend the festival itself. They will see some of Ireland’s best horses battling it out for the prize pots.

They’ll also have the opportunity to be at the heart of the roaring crowds that are inevitable at those big meetings.  

Punchestown Race Calendar Highlights

The highlight of the Punchestown Racecourse racing calendar is unquestionably the Punchestown Festival. The festival takes place over five days and hosts consistent Grade 1 standard racing.

There are plenty of recognisable races that take place at the festival. These include: Champion Chase, Champion Novice Hurdle, Punchestown Gold Cup, Champion INH Flat, Ryanair Novice Chase, Punchestown Champion Hurdle and Mares Champion – and that’s leaving out a few other significant races.

The Punchestown Gold Cup is a Grade 1 steeplechase that takes place on the Wednesday of the festival. The three mile race is open for those that are five years old or older, with mares receiving a seven pound weight allowance.

In 2019, Willie Mullins’ Kemboy battled well to assert his dominance over stablemate Al Boum Photo; However, the latter went on to win the actual Gold Cup after Kemboy unseated at the first. He then went on and beat Kemboy again in the 2020 Gold Cup after he could only manage seventh.
