Mary Pierse was in Mayo this summer and while there she visited

 Ballinrobe racecourse, probably the most beautiful racecourse in Ireland and a place where various members of the Moore family raced.  The racecourse is very aware of the connections and its main restaurant is called the Coranna Restaurant.  On its walls, there are pictures of Moore Hall, of the horses Coranna and Croagh Patrick, of the view of the bay from the house, of G.H. Moore and George the novelist.  Here below is a selection of the images.
