Phoenix Park Racecourse

The course re-opened for the 1983 season, owned by a consortium that included Vincent O'Brien and Robert Sangster.

Due to financial difficulties the track was permanently closed for racing in late 1990 and part of the land has subsequently been developed into housing.

Several of Ireland's leading flat races, which later were contested at other venues, originally took place at Phoenix Park.

Other races of note held at Phoenix Park include the G III Vauxhall Trial Stakes.

The supporting acts were Perfect Crime, Steel Pulse, Big Country, Eurythmics and Simple Minds.
