    Worth knowing: Its future is uncertain: Thurles is the only privately owned racecourse in Ireland, and its short-term arrangement with HRI to keep racing runs only until March 2027. Its autumn 2027 fixtures are listed as 'to be confirmed'. Rated adult-focused because no family features are advertised.
