英文注释：

"Surf washes the turf at the Laytown Strand Races, where punters, or bettors, crowd close to urge on their picks. An infatuation with fast horses dates from the arrival of Celtic warriors from the Continent about 500 B.C. with their hell-for-leather chariot racing. Endowed with emerald pastures rich in bone-building calcium, Ireland remains, in the view of an Irish National Stud official, the 'European nursery' for horses."

—From "Ireland on Fast-Forward," September 1994, National Geographic magazine
