    What's the story with this in general? Is it a good day out? Listening to Davy here on RTE here big it up. Are the race just all steeplechases? I'm assuming you can bet on course? Is there a race card with form? What are the tracks like? I imagine them to be big fields with a few stalls set up.

    Be interested to maybe go one day.

    Theres none on at the moment here due to the Level 5 restricitions but yes when they are back yes defintely well worth going to. The points are best known these days for the 4 year old maidens that a lot of the sales-topping jumpers come from nowadays. It's a great day out though, most of the tracks are over farmland whos owner is a number of the local hunt and lets them use it for the day. Although there is one down here in the old Tralee racecourse and it feels like a mini racemeeting. All the races are 3-mile steeplechases (bar a few 4yo maiden in Feb over 2m 4f). The tracks are decent standards as they have to pass a IHRB inspection before a meeting takes place. There is a racecard and form - but it's entries in the card as declarations are taken on the day, and when things were normal you would have 10 or 12 bookmakers at a meeting and sometimes a livlier market than on the racecourse.
