A number of British horse racing fans are opting to attend big meetings in Ireland over the UK as they find them cheaper and better value for money.
Leopardstown is gearing up for it's festive meeting, which will see a number of punters travel to the Dublin venue from the UK, as will the Dublin Racing Festival at the same track in early February.
Josh Toole, 31, from Suffolk, sparked debate on Twitter earlier this week when he revealed he had purchased a weekend pass for the Dublin Racing Festival for less than half the price of admission to the Club Enclosure for one day during the Cheltenham Festival, a meeting he will not attend next year because the cost of going to the Cotswolds has become "too much".
