Kilbeggan Races has seen numerous sponsorship developments over the years, but none have been as significant as the Kilmurray Group Midlands National. In just a few short years, this race has established itself as one of the most exciting and thrilling chases of the summer racing calendar, capturing the hearts and imaginations of horse racing enthusiasts from across Ireland and beyond.

The Midlands National Race Day at Kilbeggan is now recognised as one of the most popular summer race meetings in Ireland, second only to the Irish Derby and the Galway Festival. More than just a race meeting, it has quickly become the social event of the year in the Midlands, attracting visitors from near and far who come to experience the excitement, atmosphere, and glamour of Irish horse racing at its finest.

We are delighted that sponsorship once again this year comes from Dermot and Conor Kilmurray and the Kilmurray Group. The Kilmurray Group Midlands National Listed Race, valued at €100,000, is expected to attract very large crowds and promises another spectacular day of racing action.

In addition to the thrilling racing programme, this year’s race meeting on Friday, 10th July, will feature our highly anticipated Ladies Day Competition, which is sure to add even more excitement, style, and glamour to the occasion. We would like to wish all the ladies participating in the competition the very best of luck.
