"Horse racing on the strand is an old practice in Ireland, and the Omey Races go back farther than anyone can recall ... In the old days, locals brought their Connemara ponies, the hardy native breed, and even a few donkeys for a day of racing on the beach. Present-day races have an equally old-fashioned flavor, but with the addition of thoroughbreds, semiprofessional jockeys and bookmakers." (New York Times)
