The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
The title of this comes from a popular race meeting in Co. Kildare, where the stamina of horse andjockey are tested. Like many polkas, this one has its own simplicity and charm, which does enough to get people to the floor for a night’s dancing.
