The incident happened yesterday evening
The racing community is in deep mourning after the death of leading trainer Henry de Bromhead's young son.
13-year-old Jack DeBromhead died in a horse racing accident at Glenbeigh races in Co Kerry yesterday evening.
The young jockey was taking part in what is known as the flapper races on Rossbeigh beach.
A popular two day event is held every year at the scenic Co Kerry location.
The teenage boy received treatment at the scene but was later pronounced dead.
The racing event was cancelled yesterday following the accident.
Local councillor Michael Cahill, who lives in Glenbeigh and whose family were attending the event said there was widespread shock and devastation as details of the horrific accident emerged.
The young man had only taken part in a similar event in Cahersiveen in Co Kerry last week.
