Dick Behan has over 25 years of experience building and maintaining all-weather surfaces. His clients, world leaders in their respective fields, include Ballydoyle Racing, Joseph Murphy, Coolmore Stud, John Oxx, Juddmonte Farms, Edward Lynam, Ballylinch Stud and Andrew Oliver. Over 170 Group 1 winners have been trained on surfaces installed by D & E Behan to date. We asked him which surfaces are most popular for the modern trainer and how can we get the most from our training surfaces?

The first all-weather surfaces in Ireland date back to the 1970s.
