The ground is good or better in a normal summer.Other tracks have mixed meetings in the summer.So it is obvious there are going to be more falls at Kilbeggan than the other tracks.

I suppose running down hill into a bend youhave no choice.The problem with Kilbeggan is that jockeys ride like loopers. The second last bends is treated like a chicane in formula one with all sorts of moves attempted.https://community.betfair.com/irish_sports/go/thread/view/94110/24975533/something-has-to-be-done-about-kilbeggan?post_id=451111137#451111137Jockeys take it easy at Tramore.
