Maybe they should try ASTROTURF.

Brock,

I'm going to Laytown this year. Is there anything I should know before I go?

before you go, make sure that it is on. I went up there a few years ago and was cancelled due to dangerous ridges on the sand. wasn't too happy it's only on once a year and if its cancelled, you'll have to wait til next year. ... its certainly an experience in its own right..

Hopefully, they'll run. I've planned a golf holiday around it knowing that they only race one day a year. We'll be playing Laytown & Bettystown earlier in the day, so if their off, it won't be a complete loss.

Also will be visiting Tralee, Ballinrobe, Sligo, Bellewstown, Down Royal, The Curragh, Roscommon, Clonmel and Kilbeggan on this trip.

sounds like a grand trip.. some very quaint tracks in there and if youre lucky you might see some future stars in the making at somewhere like tralee..
