Irish Horse Racing Fixtures Today: Thursday 7th May 2026
There is just one meeting in Ireland today and it comes from Wexford (NH) who host a seven-race card.
Although strangely, there are no hurdles races scheduled. Just the five chases, and two bumpers (INH Flat Races).
This meeting at Wexford is usually ran at Tipperary, but the Limerick-based racecourse is currently under construction as they are building a new all-weather track there.
- Wexford (NH) – 5:02pm – 8:08pm
And all eyes will be on jockey Harry Cobden as he officially starts his new job for JP McManus.
He will ride Karoline Banbou in the opening Beginners Chase, who is trained by Willie Mullins.
Mullins won last year’s renewal (when ran at Tipperary) with subsequent Grade 1 winner Gold Dancer. Karoline Banbou fell last time out and will be looking for a first win over fences at her fourth attempt.
