Horse Racing Ireland and Leopardstown have announced the dates for next year's Dublin Racing Festival, with the two-day fixture taking place on 6 and 7 February.

Reports had suggested organisers might consider moving the meeting to Friday and Saturday, but the fixture will again be held on Saturday and Sunday in 2021.

Tim Husbands, CEO of Leopardstown, said: "It's great that the appetite to get Dublin Racing Festival 2021 set in stone was there from all parties including ourselves, our sponsors, HRI and the industry as a whole.

"This year's festival was just finishing when the conversation from owners, trainers and racegoers was Dublin Racing Festival 2021.

"Having the dates set this far out allows those looking to travel from overseas to make plans and it's really important for us to embrace them and let them know that they are an important part of the festival's success."
