    extract
    Foreword
    Michael Hurley has painstakingly researched the history of Baldoyle and its racecourse. There is no doubt that the racecourse was central to Baldoyle for over a century. It gave the village an identity and recognition wherever racing enthusiasts came together. It was therefore a very sad day when the last race meeting was run on the 26th August 1972.
