Thurles Racecourse Will Reopens Under Interim Management From October 9th 2025.
Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and the Molony family have confirmed interim management arrangements to ensure racing continues at Thurles Racecourse for the 2025/26 season.
In July, the Molony family announced their retirement from racing and the closure of the track. However, following consultation between HRI, the Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR), the Irish Horse-racing Regulatory Board (IHRB) and the family, a short-term solution has now been agreed.
From October 2025 to March 2026, HRI’s Head of Racing, Mr Peter Roe, will oversee management of the Thurles track as part of his role with the four HRI racecourses. Operations will be managed by Ms Jessica Cahalan of Laytown Races, now contracted by the Molony family.
Mrs Riona Molony has stated that she is delighted to fund and support this short-term solution which allows the family to step back, while racing continues at their Thurles track.
The CEO of HRI Ms Suzanne Eade has thanked the Molony family for facilitating the continuation of racing at Thurles, at least until longer-term plans have been determined. Thurles has long been fundamental to the winter racing schedule, and with industry support it is hoped that racing will now continue into the future.
The 2025/26 season will open with an all-Flat meeting on Thursday, October 9, followed by the first National Hunt fixture on Thursday, October 16.
