Welcome to Closutton Racing Club
We started up this club to get people racing and following horses at a very competitive price. We have mares trained by WP Mullins running at all times. We have 4 mares in Closutton right now and we’ve a brilliant record at the track so far!
6/7 horses are in training at any one time in the event of replacing one of the 4. We are leasing mares from the top breeders in Ireland with excellent pedigrees. All members are involved in all club mares. When their racing career is over we will return them to their owners for breeding purposes.
The cost is €120 per month and there is a maximum of 100 shares. All 100 shares are involved in all 6 mares. We are all about the days out, the craic at the racecourse and celebrating wins and giving out about near wins!
We have in house competitions, merchandise and plenty of social media interaction for our shareholders. We hope you will join us on this adventure and if you want more details, contact us below.
We have horses organised and agreements made with top breeders who have been very supportive in coming to us with mares bred in the purple that they wish to lease to us with the view of getting them back as quality broodmares.
