Situated in the heart of the Ireland, Kilbeggan is one of five National Hunt (jumps) racecourses. As popular a racing venue as there is in the country, Kilbeggan is very much a summer track and the valuable AXA Farm Insurance Midlands National Handicap Chase is a recognised trial for the Galway Plate and other major festival races. It is a tight right-handed track and the runners are nearly always on a turn, presenting quite a challenge for the jockeys who ride there. The vast majority of race meetings are held in the evening time which only adds to the attraction of the course which is located close to the town of Kilbeggan, itself a popular tourist venue in County Westmeath.
