Dundalk (AW) Course Guide and Statistics
The course at Dundalk (AW)
Dundalk is Ireland's only all-weather course: a left-handed, floodlit Polytrack oval that stages racing through the winter, including many evening meetings. It is a fairly sharp track with a short home straight.
Betting at Dundalk (AW)
The sharp track favours horses that race prominently, and a low draw is often an advantage around the bends. Horses that have shown form on the surface are worth preferring, as all-weather form does not always transfer from turf. Through the winter it is the main source of Flat racing in Ireland, so the same horses race against each other often.
