One of the most anticipated club events closed out the 2024 calendar, our annual Race Day, took place on Saturday the 28th December at the Leopardstown Racecourse.
Club members, players, sponsors and friends of Blackrock College RFC were treated to a fantastic day out on the third day of Leopardstown Racecourse's Christmas Festival.
Guests began arriving to the beautiful Panoramic Suite from 11.30 am and were greeted with a champagne reception.
The excitement was building, and for those who were unsure of where to place their bets, a tipster presented some options before the first races took off. Guests were quick to get their bets in as the first race kicked off just after noontime. A private balcony offered the opportunity to watch the race from above, or they could stay indoors and cheer on their horse from the multiple television screens. The lovely meal was catered by Levy, with wine supplied through Boutique Wines.
We wish to share a big thank you to all those who participated in the event, many of whom are repeats from year to year. This annual event has sold out every year so we suggest for those who are interested in attending in 2025, to book in early! As Pat Finn has mentioned, this event is the only club function where guests can show a profit by attending and it appeared that we had several lucky winners by the end of the day- it's no wonder the event sells out every year!
