IN this week’s Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR) column, we’re celebrating Limerick Racecourse and what promises to be a wonderful weekend of racing action and entertainment at the King John’s Castle Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 21st and 22nd.

The iconic Limerick visitor attraction King John’s Castle is partnering up with Limerick Racecourse, lending its name to the new two-day National Hunt festival, one that is synonymous with the McNamara name.
