Irish Racing Yearbook 2024 Now Available

Irish Racing Yearbook 2024, an annual chronicle of horse racing in Ireland, the achievements of Irish people on foreign soil while covering the entire spectrum of the sport of racing and thoroughbred industry in the form of interviews, profiles, analysis and more, is now available for purchase.

The collection is a collaboration of the best writers and photographers with the leading protagonists in all spheres from breeding to sales, from point-to-point tracks to the racecourse.

The cover story is written by Donn McClean, providing insight from three-time Gold Cup winner Paul Townend, who outlines what it means to be Willie Mullins' retained jockey.

Also featured, the rise of Honeysuckle in NH racing is analysed, as is the continuing, evolving Frankel phenomenon. There is also an acknowledgement of the remarkable achievements of the likes of Wesley Joyce in returning to the saddle from injury and Liam Burke riding a bumper winner a few days after his 66th birthday.

The analysis extends to the horses to follow in the 2024 flat season as well as a crunching of the numbers with regard to the bloodstock sales and stallions, as well as what we might expect from next year's freshman sires and those that will be getting their stud careers under way.

The Irish Racing Yearbook also provides GO RACING vouchers, provided in conjunction with the racecourses of Ireland, offering free admission to more than 90 race days throughout the year, at a total value of €2500. That constitutes just more than 70 times the price of purchase of €35.

The Yorkshire Community Beacon Programme will include a range of activities, including college visits and art projects, behind-the-scenes racecourse experiences and internships. The Beacon will promote volunteering as part of Racing Together Community Day, work with community groups and on fundraising events, as well as involvement in established and emerging community programmes.

Lucy Gurney, Community Engagement Manager for Racing Together said, “Yorkshire Racing is a world-class racing region and already hosts some of the best charity racedays and community initiatives. Our aim is to strengthen the connections between Yorkshire racing and its communities for mutual long-term benefit. This pilot programme builds upon broadly similar activity taking place at Aintree, Newmarket and through Scottish Racing.”
