A Day at the Races


The day was misty and cool at the Navan Racecourse. There is a golf course in the center of the track, but it wasn't in use the day of the race. The course is fairly flat, with a slight incline toward the middle of the race of one mile plus. Some Irish races courses have hurdles as well.


Across the finish line and ahead by two lengths! We didn't bet on this horse:(


The real fun began when a group from Belfast joined our table. This man was a winner and bought everyone a round!


All from the same Belfast neighborhood pub, the group had been planning this outing for months. We heard some good Irish jokes, for sure, and the girls had as much fun as the guys.
