The curtain comes down on the racing year at Roscommon with the final meeting of the year taking place next Monday. It is an all-flat fixture with the first race due off at 2.05 pm.
With the flat season drawing to a close, it is hoped there will be maximum fields next Monday and that the weather will be fine for this season finale.
The flat jockeys championship has yet to be decided with Colin Keane, who has won the title for the last four years, is bidding for his fifth championship.
Roscommon Racecourse Committee hopes to welcome a large crowd next week and expresses thanks to sponsors including Class Grass and On-Course Vets. Best turned out prizes are sponsored on this occasion by Keen Print, Circular Road, Roscommon.
There was a great crowd at the most recent meeting in Roscommon when San Salvador looked a useful novice chaser, with a smooth success in the Grade 3 Ballymore Irish EBF Kilbegnet Novice Chase.
On behalf of all at Roscommon Racecourse, Michael Finneran, Racecourse Manager, has thanked all patrons who took the time to come racing to Lenabane in 2024.
He added: “We would also like to say a big thank you to every single owner, trainer and groom who brought their horses to Roscommon and a huge thanks to all our staff here at the racecourse.
“The ground staff on the track have done Trojan work all year and with the help of Lorcan Wyer and all the IHRB staff, all our fixtures in 2024 have gone off without a hitch.
“Our loyal sponsors have been tremendous and if your company would like to talk to us about coming on board for 2025, we would love to talk with you.
“If you are coming here next week, you will be guaranteed a warm welcome and if you cannot make our last hurrah, we will see you all back here in 2025”.
