Easter Monday, April 5, 2021 - Fairyhouse Racecourse
WELCOME
to Fairyhouse Racecourse

Today is the final day of our Easter Festival, which
is sadly behind closed doors this year. The last 12
months have been a difficult time for everyone as
we deal with the effects of the Covid 19 virus, but at
last the end looks in sight and hopefully we will be
able to welcome people back to our racecourses
very soon. I would like to thank everyone who has
helped keep our great industry going over the last
12 months through these most difficult times.              Peter Roe
                                                         General Manager
Today we are delighted to be staging the €400,000 Ratoath, Co. Meath
BoyleSports Irish Grand National. This is the T: +353 (0)1 825 6167
most iconic race in Irish jump racing calendar F: +353 (0)1 825 6051
and each winner earns their rightful place in E: info@fairyhouse.ie
the history books. This year’s renewal may be
lacking the “People” but the winner will never be
forgotten having covered over 3 miles and 5 furlongs and jumped 24
fences. I would like to thank BoyleSports for their continued support of
Fairyhouse and this great race.

I would like to thank all our other sponsors today for their support in
unprecedented times - Devenish, Farmhouse Foods, Rathbarry Stud,
Fairyhouse Steel, The Underwriting Exchange and the family and
friends of Fred Kenny.

We hope you enjoy this year’s BoyleSports Irish Grand National
wherever you are watching Fairyhouse & we really look forward to
seeing you here on Easter Monday 18th April 2022.

Regards,
Peter Roe,
General Manager | info@fairyhouse.ie
