FAQs

About Gowran Park Racecourse

Gowran Park Racecourse is situated just outside the village of Gowran in County Kilkenny, around 13km east of Kilkenny city and roughly halfway between Dublin and Waterford. The track lies in classic Irish horse country near major training and breeding yards, with sweeping rural views and an on-site golf course adding to its appeal as a day-out destination.

Racing at Gowran Park dates back to the early twentieth century, and in 1952 the course hosted the first ever live racetrack commentary in Irish racing history. Today it stages around eighteen fixtures per year on a right-handed oval of about a mile and a half, offering both National Hunt and Flat racing on a scenic, undulating circuit that tests jumping and staying ability.

The track is best known for the Thyestes Chase, a historic mid-winter handicap that often features future Irish Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup contenders, and for major days such as Goffs Thyestes Day, Red Mills Day, Shamrock Chase Day, Denny Cordell Day and PwC Champion Chase Day. With modern hospitality suites, bars, restaurants and regular themed days like Ladies Day, Gowran Park Racecourse combines top-class racing with a relaxed social atmosphere that attracts both serious punters and casual racegoers.
