Reviews

"Booked the Dublin Racing Festival through Racing Breaks and it was brilliant, we stayed at a great hotel (the Clayton) with breakfast included, had weekend tickets and the racecourse was only a short walk away (though we did get the free shuttle on Sunday!). Whole trip was great, will be going next year."

"Our Dublin trip was seamless from start to finish, awesome hotel location right by the racecourse and we got the tram into Dublin Saturday night for a few beers! The chance to join the exclusive drinks evening with Ruby Walsh was great, what a guy and a great start to the weekend. We will be back!"

Michael, 2025

"We booked our flights but Racing Breaks sorted everything else for our trip to Leopardstown. From the airport transfers to the shuttle service to the races, everything was great. Glad we upgraded to seats as the views were amazing. Ruby is a gentleman! Hope he can make it next year too!"
