Clonmel Races
                   
Details Calendar  Contact Accommodation/Food & Drink
Clonmel racecourse (Powerstown Park) is located in a picturesque setting north of the town. Racing, which had been open and free to spectators for over a hundred years at Clonmel, was enclosed in 1913 by Villiers Morton Jackson and became the commercially run Powerstown Park racecourse. Morton Jackson also roped in the bookies to a distinct area of the course, banned gaming sideshows, brought in detectives and police to deter pickpockets and provided entry to a roofless grandstand accommodating 1500 at a charge of two shillings a head!
