Irish Derby Betting - Irish Horse Racing Bets

The Irish Derby is the Irish equivalent to the Epsom Derby Betting and there is always a very active Irish Derby ante post market following the Epsom Derby result. Budweiser have sponsored the Irish Derby for many years and have put real life back into the Irish flat racing scene. The Irish Derby is Ireland's number one race day held at the Curragh. The Irish Derby follows on closely from the English Derby and in recent years it has tended to confirm the form of the English Classics Bets.

The Irish are famous for their love of horse racing and betting and they go all out to make the Budweiser Irish Derby betting one of the biggest betting occasions of the year. There are many bookmakers all of which are listed here who offer excellent Irish Derby Free Online Bets offers.

Even though the Curragh course is very different to that of Epsom and it does suit the long striding galloper, the winners of the Epsom Derby tend to head straight for the Curragh and follow up their success across the water at the Curragh racecourse. The Budweiser Irish Derby card is full of top quality Irish Horse Racing Betting and includes the group 2 Anheuser Busch Railway Stakes.

The Irish are very keen to keep the prize at home and there is always a strong challenge from the home team with the Aiden O'Brien, John Oxx and Dermot Weld stables always putting up very strong candidates. Naturally there is a big challenge from across the water and the usual suspects from the Stoute and Godolphin stables are normally in attendance to take this big prize and feature heavily in the Ante Post Betting.
