The Owner

AIR Access Cards

The Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR) manage race day admission for all 26 racecourses in Ireland. AIR are an independent body representing the Racecourses.

AIR Cards: All registered owners are issued AIR cards when they become registered owners. Should you mislay your card(s) or have any queries on access cards please contact AIR on +353 (0)1 676 0911

AIR cards allow access to the races the day you have a runner. Please see the table below for allocation details and information on additional admission and parade ring access badges.

On arrival at the racecourse owners swipe their card at the AIR / Owner turnstile. At this point you will be issued with a badge giving access to the owner area and parade ring. 

NOTE Parade ring access is racecourse dependent. While it is usually not an issue, racecourse officials occasionally restrict access for health & safety reasons.

Additional Admission Request Form

Each racecourse also provides additional admissions for owners with runners, provided they are requested in advance of the meeting. Once race entries have closed, each racehorse owner with an entry will receive an email advising of ticket entitlements. Complete the Request Form below by the deadline and collect the tickets at the ticket collection point. The deadline for tickets is 3pm* on day of declaration.

Emails are sent to the owner or agent, in the case of syndicates and racing clubs, when a horse is entered. Please ensure your email address is up-to-date at all times, by emailing changes to [email protected].

* denotes this time may change please consult the email received at entry stage.
