Track Biography:

Home to the Irish National each Easter Monday, the Grade 1 course at Fairyhouse also played host to the Fingal and Ward Union point-to-points for a number of decades.

However for close to 10 years, from the last Ward Union fixture at the venue in 1995, the track remained absent from the pointing fixture list until it was re-introduced by the Louths in 2014 to host the second ever Anglo-Irish Challenge and E5,000 Tattersalls Ireland Mares Winners race.

Since then it has been the home of the Meath & Taras spring fixture. Taking place inside the inner rules course, the point-to-point track is just over one-mile around with five fences, and is considerably sharper than the main course, and speedier horses tend to have the edge.
