LAYTOWN RACES NEW BOOK
Compiled by racing enthusiast John Kirwan and historian Fiona Ahern, members of Bellewstown Heritage Group, this book is packed with interviews, anecdotes, recollections, reminiscences and historical facts about Lay town Races. John, who was born on the fringes of Bellewstown Racecourse, is in charge of keeping the Bellewstown track in order throughout the year. He also knows Laytown well as he assists in the laying out of the racetrack there each September. He spent last winter researching and writing up Laytown racing and compiling statistics. Fiona has written the history of the races and they both also interviewed jockeys, trainers and owners who had participated in the excitement of Laytown Races over the years. Their stories really make the book.
Laytown Strand Races, celebrating 150 years costs €20. Congrats to John and Fiona on a great job well done.
