Alkumait Sponsorship Heads First 2yo Race of Irish Season

As part of the IRE Incentive Scheme, Curragh hosts the first juvenile race of the Irish racing season Saturday. The five-furlong test is sponsored by Castlefield Stud on behalf of G2 Mill Reef S. winner Alkumait (GB) (Showcasing {GB}–Suelita {GB}, by Dutch Art {GB}), who stands at the nursery for €5,000.

Highlighting the sponsorship, the connections of the first season sire are offering a €100,000 bonus to the connections of the first black-type winner from the stallion's first crop of 2-year-olds.

”We have long-term ambitions, and we are going to be there to support breeders in the ring and on the racetrack,” said Jack Tuohy, who was behind the deal. “This is evident at the Curragh on Saturday where we are sponsoring the opening 2-year-old maiden of the year we are putting the foundations in place to make Alkumait a long-term success.”

Molly Dingwall Appointed Haydock GM

The Jockey Club has appointed Molly Dingwall as the new General Manager of Haydock Park Racecourse. Over four years as the GM of Carlisle since May 2018, Dingwall played a pivotal role in strengthening ties with the local community and promoting its broad range of racedays, including the unique Ladies Night fixture each August. Dingwall will take over as GM at Haydock in the coming weeks, while The Jockey Club will begin the process to recruit a new General Manager at Carlisle immediately.

“Anyone who has met Molly will know the energy, enthusiasm and passion she has for horseracing and I'm really looking forward to her taking over at Haydock Park, which has a catchment area full of really knowledgeable sports fans and loyal racegoers,” said Dickon White, North West Regional Director at The Jockey Club. “Running a dual Flat and Jumps track provides extra challenges and Molly's experience of this at Carlisle will prove invaluable as she takes on her new role.”

She launched her career with The Jockey Club as a Business Development Executive in 2015 and was appointed Group Trainee General Manager the following year.

IRE Incentive Scheme Expanded

The IRE Incentive scheme, an initiative designed to stimulate and fortify Irish Thoroughbred breeding, racing and sales, will expand to include over 200 races in Ireland and Britain in 2022, according to Horse Racing Ireland (HRI). The IRE Incentive scheme awards a bonus of €10,000 to owners of Irish-bred winners of selected races across the Irish and British Flat and National Hunt programmes, to be spent on Irish-breds at Irish sales. In its first year, the IRE Incentive scheme awarded over €1,000,000 to over 90 individual owners, contributing to more than €4,000,000 in sales of Irish-breds. Qualifying races in Ireland are 2-year-old fillies' maidens; 2-year-old auction maidens and median auction races; 3-year-old median auction maidens; and National Hunt auction races. Scheme races in Britain include maidens for all sexes; novice races; and fillies listed races. The owners of each eligible winner–those carrying the (IRE) suffix and Foal Levy compliant– will have until the end of the following year to spend their voucher. For more information, click here.
