Donegal jockeys take to Carndonagh for return of racing

Tiernan McGill and Swilly Spirit at Carndonagh on 11 May 2025

All roads will again lead to Carndonagh - adjacent to the Gaelic Grounds - for an eight-race card this Sunday, May 25, where the first race is off at 1.30pm.

The first meeting was just over a week ago and highly successful with Kian Mc Nally bagging a four timer.
Local rider, Ben Lecky, had a day to remember with his first winner and will be quietly confident that he can again get on the score sheet with almost a full book of rides.
The two other northwest jockeys, Tiernan Mc Gill and Brody Ferry, will also be in action and will be hoping to be amongst the winners to kick start their season, so come along and witness the stars of the future in Donegal.
 
Bookmakers on course and also refreshments available on the day if you fancy a flutter or a tasty bite to eat. Eircode F93 EF65.
