I am a relative newby to thoroughbred horse racing, owning small shares in two horses. As we will be in Ireland (Tipperary) for a 3 week home exchange this summer, I am keen to visit a couple of the famous Irish stud farms. I already have Coolmore Stud on the list. Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

You will enjoy the Irish National Stud in Kildare.

You can google Irish race meets for locations and dates. This link may help: https://www.irishracing.com/news?headline=2019-Fixtures-Released&prid=194037
If you’re in/near Dublin in August the Dublin Horse Show is a good way to spend a horse day, especially watching the Nations Cup. http://dublinhorseshow.com/equestrian-information/international-jumping

Another vote for Irish National Stud. Amazing facility and history; excellent, informative guided tour. If you're arriving in Dublin, it looks like you'll drive right through Kildare en route to/from Tipperary. https://irishnationalstud.ie/
