The Red Mills trial Hurdle (February) has become one of the classic Cheltenham Trials, and if Cheltenham week has not satisfied your taste for racing, the Tetratema Cup, which has been run since 1918, takes place on the Saturday after the big English meeting. In May the flat racing kicks off with The Glanbia Classic trial over the bank holiday weekend, and in June the Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes and the McEnery Cup are run. The ever popular mid-June Jack Duggan Handicap Hurdle keeps the national hunt fans happy. Mid-October is the Kilkenny Racing Festival, a 3-day event which draws big crowds, following the Denny Cordell Landart Memorial Race, The Powers Gold Label Handicap Hurdle and the National Lottery Agents Champion Stakes. - Accommodation Name County Type Town Berkeley House Kilkenny Guesthouses Kilkenny City
