CESAREWITCH STICKS WITH TWO RUN FORMAT
Ian Fortune
For the third year running, the 2026 TIME Irish Cesarewitch will be run on a win and you’re in format with each of the six semi-final winners progressing to the final and a chance of landing the €10,000 winner’s purse.
It’s an incredible sum of money for a two-run event, while also allowing plenty the opportunity to take their chance with 36 runners required for the opening round. This classic gets underway at Mullingar on Sunday March 1st with the final scheduled for the following Sunday, March 8th.
