History Local folklore has it that it was the parish priest who, in 1876, organised the first race meeting on Laytown's three miles of golden strand Held intermittently since then, it was not until 1901 that local landowner, Paddy Delancy, established the meeting as we know it today. Nothing, not even two World Wars, has stopped it taking place since then.
