Some horse racing fans enjoy the speed and excitement of flat racing, some like the challenge of jump racing and some prefer the mix of hurdle racing but how many have even watch beach racing never mind have it as a favourite type?

The races are the only ones to take place under the rules of racing and so they retain the professionalism and skill of turf or all-weather racing, just with the uniqueness and unpredictability of racing on a beach.

The course is set out early in the morning as the tide recedes, which just about gives the time for up to 6 races, each between 6 furlongs to, 1 mile before the course needs to be taken down as the tide comes back in and any proof of the days racing is washed away- unless you have watched the action live via one of these great live streaming partners of course.

Spectators watch from a field above the beach, whilst marques are set up on the beach to act as the weight rooms, bars and restaurants for corporate guests.

The great news for all racing fans is that the whole spectacle can be watched live online via our Laytown races live stream partners.

No longer do you need to be at beach in person to watch the action live or to hope you can find the races on an expensive pay tv channel, now you can simply register with one of the great online bookmakers featured on this page.

Racing at Laytown had a reputation of been more of a spectacle and for the element of danger that fans, jockeys and horses faced but thankfully the sport has move on from that.

No longer are fans wondering around the beach and no longer are horses expected to make a U-turn to race back from where they started from.

Nowadays the racing is more about the ability of the horse and the speed of horses as they race for up to a mile is a sprint race type formation, starting at one end of the beach and finishing at the other end.

The course features barriers down both sides, so that there is no external danger to horses, jockeys and fans, so everything is all about the athleticism of the horses and the skill of the jockeys- just as horse racing should always be.

Held is September every year, the day is a great way to wind down the main summer flat racing season and is both a fun day of action and a great day of serious racing.
