New European Breeders’ Fund Website Launched
A new website for the European Breeders' Fund, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2023, launched this week. The site offers a better user experience with improved search capabilities for owners and trainers, and dedicated pages for each member country detailing their Trustees, race programmes and news.
“The 40th anniversary of the European Breeders Fund is a good time to refresh the website and include more information on each member country,” Kerry Murphy, CEO of the European Breeders' Fund, said. “The EBF is putting more funds into prizemoney than ever due to the strength of our stallions with over €5 million being paid out this year. It's important to have a platform people can easily navigate to find the information they need.”
