LIMERICK Racecourse called on Liam Burke to help launch details of this year’s Christmas Festival. Liam famously became the oldest jockey to win a race in Ireland for over 100 years when, aged 66, he rode a winner at Limerick last March.

There will be over €600,000 in prize money to be won at Limerick this Christmas and there is an important change to the running order as the Grade 1 Guinness Faugheen Novice Chase has been moved from St Stephen’s Day to December 28th.
