Curragh
Home to the five Irish classics, The Curragh is a right-handed horseshoe shaped course with a circuit of two miles with no
sharp bends and a straight run in of three furlongs uphill. Races over five and six furlongs take place on an adjoining straight
course, and mile races join onto this course after a two furlong chute. It is recognised as a very fair galloping track.
