Kilbeggan Race Meeting, Kilbeggan Racecourse, Kilbeggan, County Westmeath, 20 July 2012 6pm
An evening of fun at Kilbeggan Races is one of the most enjoyable experiences. It mingles the heart stopping spectacle of Horse Racing over jumps with the laid back charm of a genuine rural meeting. The Kilbeggan formula is made for fun, friendship and atmosphere for the thousands who return meeting after meeting giving Kilbeggan the edge over other events. The quiet Midlands Racecourse is transformed on race evenings into a festival of social and sporting pleasure, drawing admirers from every corner of Ireland. You can meet friends, circulate freely; you can eat, drink or cheer without restriction; you can bring the family or whoever; where for a few pounds the odds are much better than a lottery ticket; and where you can boast afterwards that it was sheer skill that made you pick the winner!
If you are bright, witty and rich you will enjoy Kilbeggan Races and if you are not, you will enjoy it just the same.
