Are there organised offshore racing trips?

The Club has been organising offshore racing trips since its inception in 1989.

We have raced in the Irish St. Leger at the Curragh, in Listed races at Deauville and many times at Les Landes (Jersey) and L’Ancresse (Guernsey.)

Our most recent offshore winner was Little Lotte (IRE) in 2017 twice (see 14/5/17 video below), and previously Robbmaa (Mattie Batchelor) a 10/1 winner at Les Landes on our offshore racing trip, Jersey – 12th August 2012.

In 1993 we took 3 horses to Jersey and all 3 won!

We’re due another trip!

In the last year that Lester Piggott rode (1994) we hired a private plane for Club members and Lester to fly to Deauville where Lester and Linpac West came 3rd in the Listed Prix de Reux
