How strange that could be anyone’s favourite place.

Sun, sea and tote guarantee at Laytown, whatever next

Remember at Laytown your able to run of your Turf ratings!

yep, Rocky Dreams, last ran in AW hc off mark in the 70s , running off just 50, drifts like a barge, runs like a drain. It's all guesswork.

Anyone seen megan.or she still crying at home with lover

Arniemac. 'They' knew.

Jimnast - I agree that is is hard to understand that it could be anyone's favourite place, but your comments suggest that you have never been?  Your 12.04 post is silly but humorous.

Hello blackbarn I have been it just wasn’t for me I know many like it but not me

The year I went I actually left listowel so I could tick laytown of the list ,I remember watching the Kerry national there,loads English by the way travel over for it

I first went to Laytown about 1966 as it was the local meeting along with Bellewstown. Laytown was good in those days as there was no health and safety, most people were

on the beach as it was free, funfair etc. Only a few serious racegoers paid to go into the racefield where amenities were very basic, a parade ring and a temporary bar.

Races were allowed with a turn so you had 2 mile races. Insurance only covers 7f straight races now after a pile up on the bend.

I think the current Laytown is overated and people only go for the novelty value. I would have no interest in going now,much prefer Bellewstown but that was better when they had a chase course.
