Wexford Races

Wexford Racecourse is a left-handed, oval-shaped Irish horse racing venue in County Wexford. The track used to be run the other way around (right-handed) and host flat action but, from May 2016 onwards, has only had National Hunt races over jumps at it.

There is one black type race here, the M. W. Hickey Memorial Chase over almost three miles for intermediate steeplechasers in October.

There are no Wexford races in the winter, with the track used during the other parts of the year.

A circuit of the course is a mile-and-a-quarter, making it fairly sharp but it does undulate. The run-in from the final flight of hurdles or fence is less than a furlong.

Wexford Racecourse Behind Closed Doors

Wexford races are currently being run behind closed doors because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation. This is set to be reviewed and updated in line with government advice, with Wexford Racecourse keen to welcome back punters as soon as it is safe to do so.

It’s still worth checking Wexford races fixtures because the decision to allow spectators in could change. If you book tickets to a Wexford Racecourse event that is then moved to behind closed doors, refunds will be processed through the official course website.
