James Joyce and Samuel Beckett go racing

It's a big day at Leopardstown, the only racecourse to be mentioned, as far as I know, in the works of both James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Can I do better than John Kirriemuir this time?

325 Haydock: Ortensia
345 Ascot: Field of Dreams
415 Ascot: Sun Central
440 Leopardstown: Emulous
545 Leopardstown: Snow Fairy
