It has to be the year of the Shark, that’s John ‘Shark’ Hanlon from County Carlow. He bought a horse called Hewick. He didn’t pay dearly for it (not even a thousand euro) and then won the Galway Plate last summer. He added another win at Sandown, and between the two he pocketed half a million euro. Not bad for a year’s work. But just last October he won the American Grand National at Fair Hills in New Jersey with a $160,000 dollar first prize. Now he is 33/1 to take the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. D’ya think, maybe.

Ireland has a long history of horse racing. As a result, every year, a large number of Irish horse racing enthusiasts come to the Cheltenham Festival, the highlight event of the National Hunt season, and in recent years, Irish-owned or bred horses have dominated the event. The domination has made people interested in bidding in horse racing events. Unibet is the perfect and most famous site for you to find out about horse racing odds. Nowadays, Ireland's Thoroughbred breeding industry is increasing because of the favorable tax treatment. The main farm of Coolmore Stud, the world's largest Thoroughbred stud, is located there (in addition to major operations in the U.S. and Australia).
