WHERE in Dublin would you stage a race on the streets of the capital city? Could it be held in the Phoenix Park, an iconic venue in the history of Irish racing and a place with long straight roads?

Talk in London is about the possibility of racing on The Mall, giving Queen Elizabeth a bird’s eye view of the event, though reports suggest that while the capital of England was the original venue in the minds of the proposers, it is thought that the course is more likely to be built in Melbourne in Australia, Las Vegas in the USA, or in Dubai.
