Leopardstown at Xmas

Isleham

I've been (Champion stakes) albeit a good few years ago.

I was staying at an airport hotel and going to Leopardstown i simply got a taxi, it wasn't so expensive (then). On the way back, i got a bus into Dublin city (as did many) and it didn't appear to be a problem

Get the Luas to Sandyford and there is a complimentary shuttle bus to the racecourse. Alternatively get the Luas to the next stop - Central Park - and it is about a 10 minute walk to the racecourse

Coach from the airport for around €10 drops at the door….in time for an Irish breakfast…

The girl at the help desk advised no taxi….luxury coach….straight there….and back…

Both kerryboy and form are correct in there advice.if you do go isleham pay the extra for the seats (premier) the view of the racing is superb.

Where ye getting this breakfast

Thanks for all answers..
either coach from Airport on arrival (28th) or the Luad looks best

*Luas

If your staying at the Clayton the bus drops at the door if staying in Dublin tram is best

I'm not even sure there was a coach from the airport when i went (Daylami and Frankie won the Champion stakes) but a tenner seems a good deal to me.

I though Dublin was a really nice city, good night life, although i can't comment today of course.

Take plenty of funds, very very expensive in the centre but brilliant nightlife.

Tram/Luas couldnt be easier. Goodluck.

Yes the coach is available every half hour….bentring…you get the breakfast at the course….

Always go for 3 days at Punchestown plus the monday night at either Naas or Navan and stay at Barberstown Castle but never done Leopardstown so pretty familiar with the City.

So where on the course exactly do you get this breakfast.
Been going to leopardstown from the late 80's and never seen breakfast apart from a filled roll

Rubbish I was there when High Chaperral won had to wait on the Stewards

The breakfast was served next to a bar…maybe things have changed…check it out..ask around you’ll find I’m right….

as someone has said, take plenty euro.  1 turkish delight sells for €1.60 (£1.39).  can get a pack of 3 here for £1. 

everything else similarly priced.

Isleham

Leopardstown different class than punchestown

Don't start off from the city, stand outside my gate and I'll give you a lift. We'll be there in 12/15 mins.

The breakfast was served next to a bar......1st race 1:50pm there was no breakfast it's not the high St they don't cater for breakfast when those hrs have elapsed.
Panoramic restaurant will serve lunch and afternoon tea the other's are cafeteria and fast food.
Someone said on another thread you have an opinion on so many threads now I understand that with all this bull$hit.
Beside a bar lmao

I was there at 11.00 thicko….check it out

You following me

Picture the scene,some catering staff are asked to come in early at 10.30am and reply ffs no one will be in b4 12:30pm.
We have a special guest arriving he's the local village idiot and he wants a fry.'But we're catering for lunch'dosent matter he's special needs.
Is that that guy bonnie 'no just some gangster from the clyde'

Check the date …2003.  Jesus Christ thick or what….

i recall that day..there was a tannoy announcement 'could the jock wearing the tam o'shanter please move the petrol tanker from the car park'

The Luas ( Tram ) Green Line goes from City centre to Sandyford which will have a shuttle bus drop you to course or the next stop is central park which is ten minute walk from course.
If you are staying near airport which is North of the city get a taxi to Parnell Luas stop ( top of O Connell street) or Marlborough street ( back of O Connell street ) to get on the green Luas going south to leopardstown which is South of the city.

First race is usually 12.20 or 12.25

Don't attempt to drive through the city. The last time I did that about 10 years ago it took 3 hours to travel 3 miles. I have not back since.

MJK he was at the champion stakes not Xmas festival read the thread

That light rail/Tram system AKA the Daniel Day or the Jerry Lee....

I always go by tinker/piebald horse. Also get a price for tarmaccing my garden.

What kind of **** is that?^^^

MJK you are dealing with a tree…..High Chaperral didn’t run over Xmas lol.  He won the race I went to see and punt…when I saw Falbrav in the parade…I had to split some of my bet….I’ve never seen a horse look so good in all my life

Just as well mick stitched up Holland…

You usually get the tickets a little cheaper on pigsback.com if you're booking in advance

Left it late,coming over also just a couple days Wed/Thurs racing any hotel recommendations?

Stay wherever you can afford,Bray near leopardstown has hotels probably cheaper than Dublin but it depends on what you want.
Most will be day trippers as it's Christmas and who wants to get a fukin breakfast when turkey and ham is available
