About Wexford Racecourse

Wexford Racecourse is a prominent National Hunt venue located just outside the vibrant Wexford town in the “sunny south-east” of Ireland. The earliest records of racing in the area date back to the 1870s, but the current track at Bettyville was officially opened in 1951, drawing an impressive attendance of around 17,000 to its inaugural race meeting. The course has since cemented its reputation as a home for competitive jump racing, attracting both top jockeys and trainers.

The course underwent a significant transformation in 2015 when the direction of racing was switched from right-handed to left-handed. Following this change, the track became an all-National Hunt (jumps) venue in 2016. The track is an undulating, sharp, rectangular course, measuring about one mile and four furlongs, featuring tight turns. A unique characteristic of the course is that its new winning post now sits to the right of the grandstand, creating a stiffer test for horses, particularly with the uphill run to the finish, making it a track that often favours stayers.

The track is known for its popular fixtures like the Summer Friday Evening Meetings, which draw large local crowds, in addition to events like the St. Patrick’s Day Meeting and the October Bank Holiday Meeting. High-profile races run at the venue include the Michael Hickey Memorial Chase and the Veterans Handicap Chase. The racecourse continues to invest in its facilities, offering a friendly atmosphere and modern amenities for a great day out at the races.
