Wexford Races | Racecourse Guide, Help & Tips

Wexford racecourse enjoys both an interesting history and a great horse racing heritage. The name of Wexford is derived from the town’s Viking heritage and the town has long been associated with horsemen and the breeding of horses in Ireland. The course formerly staged Flat racing as well as jumps, but on 1 June 2016 it was announced that with immediate effect Flat racing would be discontinued, following on from track being switched from right-handed to left-handed in 2015. It remains very much a sharp track with tight turns and favours the speedy, handy type, particularly the hurdles course which is on the inside of the chase one.

Statistics for the last 5 seasons.

Wexford is an undulating, rectangular track of nine and a half furlongs in extent. It was reconfigured in 2015 and races are now run left-handed, rather than right-handed, with a new winning post some way to the right of the stands. It remains very much a sharp track with tight turns which favours the speedy, handy type, particularly the hurdles course which is on the inside of the chase one. There are six fences to a circuit of the chase course, three in the home straight and two on the far side.
