For a small country track, it has long punched above its weight, with ongoing investment in the grounds recognised by Racecourse of the Year honours in 2012 and again from Horse Racing Ireland in 2023.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also has a knack for launching good horses. Doran&#8217;s Pride, later a Cheltenham regular, won his first race here in 1993, and Tiger Roll, the dual Grand National winner, took his first win over fences here in 2016, in a chase now named after him. There&#8217;s a genuine sense of heritage to the place, helped by the old ring fort the horses gallop past on every circuit.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb14f6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eb14f6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Racing-at-Ballinrobe-ropfue7oervzabotpnijy2v16f9xjqtelcdnzs1ai8.webp\" title=\"Racing-at-Ballinrobe\" alt=\"Racing-at-Ballinrobe.webp\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ca91fb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4ca91fb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b61cdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b61cdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What Racing You'll See and When: Ballinrobe Fixtures 2026 \n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0826552 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0826552\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ballinrobe is a dual-purpose track, so you&#8217;ll see both flat racing and National Hunt (jump) racing across the season.

Connemara Holiday Lettings has a pair of self-catering houses on the shores of Lough Mask, a short drive from both the racecourse and Ballinrobe town. Both are set up for larger parties and sleep family groups in comfort, with the lake almost on the doorstep, so they suit a mixed trip of racing by evening and fishing by day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;d rather make a wider holiday of it, the agency also has homes across the eastern side of Connemara in spots like Leenaun and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/oughterard\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oughterard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all within comfortable driving distance.

Aim to arrive about half an hour before the first race to park, study the card and have a bet, bring some cash for the Tote and the bar, and pack a layer or two, because a fine Mayo evening can turn cool once the sun drops.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e828520 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e828520\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3410\" alt=\"Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe.webp 1360w, https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/connemaraholidaylettings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Horse-Racing-at-Ballinrobe-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8763cb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d8763cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bbf01a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1bbf01a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Things to Do Near Ballinrobe in County Mayo\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3ce27b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a3ce27b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ballinrobe sits in a pocket of south Mayo with plenty to do within a short drive.
