Leopardstown Accommodations?

    Moving to Dublin from the US. I'm a big fan of horse racing and own a few thoroughbreds in the states.

    I will be living near Leopardstown and wonder what type of membership or racing clubs they have that y'all suggest. How many live racing days do they normally have per year? When do the meets run?

    Anyone familiar with this track, I appreciate the information.

    It's a different scene to the U.S. over here. The horses are all trained away from the racecourses in the trainers private facilities. They are brought to the racecourse on the day they run and home again after racing.
    You won't have any trouble buying a cheap racehorse at the moment anyway as the trainers are full of horses they can't get rid of because of the recession.
    Hope you have plenty of money for the training fees and race entries, and horse transport, etc.
    Here is Leopardstown info.
