THE Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR) is delighted to include Down Royal Racecourse in the column this week and to feature their hugely exciting plans for racing and a special event at the northern track’s September 8th race meeting.

On that day the Italian star among flat race jockeys, and one of the most decorated sportsmen of all time, is set to make his Northern Ireland racing debut at Down Royal, and the event is just a few short weeks away.
