Scorned by media and the mainstream, Ireland’s Sulky Racers care deeply about their ‘coloured’ horses; nevertheless they race on the wild side, illegally, on Sundays at dawn, on dual carriageways blocked off to traffic. These passionate horsemen race their light-weight traps  - sulkies - at startling speeds. When one owner challenges another, his horse’s reputation is at stake. So too are thousands of Euro. The sport and the personalities that drive it have never before been the subject of a documentary. Until now. Ireland’s Sulky Racers offers a unique insight into this fascinating sub-culture.
