Shocking video shows sulky horse race surrounded by cars on N7 in Citywest, Dublin

This is the shocking moment a convoy of horse sulkies and vehicles was spotted racing down one of Dublin's busiest commuter routes.

Footage taken from an overhead bridge on the N7 near Brownsbarn in Citywest has emerged that shows the race being conducted between a large number of cars.

The road passes by the exit that leads to the Circle K Citywest, before making its way toward the Naas Road and Newland's Cross, Dublin Live reports.

Cheers can be heard for a horse that appears to be named Starlight, while dozens of passengers clambered halfway out of the vehicles' windows to watch the race take place.

The usual evening traffic can be seen slowly moving behind the race, which took up all lanes of the busy route as over 20 cars and vans followed closely.
