Gowran Park racecourse, located in County Kilkenny, Ireland, is famous for being the venue of the first ever racecourse commentary in Ireland which took place there in 1952. The racecourse had already been around for nearly 40 years – it staged its first meeting in 1914 – and now hosts around 16 meetings throughout the course of the year, both on the Flat and over jumps. The Denny Cordell Lavarack and Lanwades Stud EBF Fillies Stakes and the Hurry Harriet Fillies Stakes are the main attractions on the level, however the picturesque track is more known for its jumps races, with the Thyestes Handicap Chase in January kicking off a series of quality fixtures. February brings the Red Mills Trial which is often used as a prep run for the Cheltenham Festival, while, in early March, the Tetratema Cup is a popular hunter chase event which shares the card with the highly valuable Shamrock Chase Handicap.
Gowran Park is a right-handed oval of around a mile and a half. While there are some undulations, it is essentially a galloping track and the final climb in the three-furlong straight is quite testing. Any advantage low-numbered stalls have is small if not negligible.
Gowran Park is an oval right-handed track with a circuit of around a mile and a half. Although there are some undulations the track is essentially galloping in character and on soft ground can provide a thorough test of stamina. There are seven fences to a circuit of the chase course, which is on the outside of the hurdles track, with three situated in the three-furlong uphill home straight. The run-in is around a furlong.
