A major enhancement to the pre-Christmas National Hunt calendar will take place next year after Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) published their fixture list for 2023.
While the overall number of fixtures next year will stay at 390, Navan (November 18 and 19) and Punchestown (November 25 and 26) will host high-class weekends of racing ahead of the traditional Winter Festival at Fairyhouse on the first weekend of December.
