Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 8, 2019 The Curragh will host its first official meeting after a two-year redevelopment slightly later than planned, on May 6 rather than Apr. 13. The originally scheduled Apr. 13 card will be transferred to Naas. Brian Kavanagh, Chief Executive Officer of Horse Racing Ireland, said, “While the redevelopment is progressing well, the HRI Board has decided to de-risk the situation and give certainty to the industry and public by delaying the public opening of the new Curragh facility until it is completely finished and fully tested. Instead a trial raceday will take place during the week commencing Monday, Apr. 15, which together with the extra time, will allow all operational elements of the racecourse to be fully tested.” The official opening of The Curragh will then take place on Friday evening May 24, the beginning of the newly-formed three-day Curragh Spring festival which will also feature the Tattersalls Irish 1000 and 2000 Guineas on May 25 and May 26.
