ITM To Sponsor IRE Incentive Raceday At Newbury

The third annual IRE Incentive Raceday at Newbury on Friday, July 21, will be sponsored by Irish Thoroughbred Marketing.

The day's feature race will be the Listed IRE Incentive It Pays To Buy Irish Rose Bowl S. for 2-year-olds. Three additional juvenile races on the card will also be included in the ITM IRE Incentive scheme. Should the winner of any 2-year-old race on the day be Irish-bred and foal levy compliant, the winning owner will receive a €10,000 sales bonus, which can be redeemed against other Irish-bred and foal levy compliant horses at any Irish sale. To date, over €2.5 million in IRE Incentive bonuses has been paid out to over 200 individual owners. For more details, please visit the ITM website.

ITM CEO Charles O'Neill said, “With nine scheme races across Ireland and Britain this weekend, we are hoping for a bonus bonanza. To award nine individual owners with bonuses ahead of the Irish yearling sales beginning this September would be the dream. The scheme is proving very popular, with British and Irish trainers targeting IRE Incentive races with a view to winning a bonus or two in time for this year's Irish yearling sales.”

Irish Farms Set To Participate In ITM Irish Stallion Trail

Better than 30 stallion farms in Ireland are set to greet the public during Irish Thoroughbred Marketing (ITM)'s Irish Stallion Trail, to be staged Friday and Saturday, Jan. 13 and 14, 2023. The Trail was limited to the breeding industry only in 2022 due to COVID-19, but will offer breeders, racing professionals, and racing fans the opportunity to view some of the world's leading Flat and National Hunt stallions at Ireland's outstanding thoroughbred breeding facilities free of any restrictions.

“We are delighted that the ITM Irish Stallion Trail will once again be able to operate without any restrictions in 2023,” said ITM's Charles O'Neill. “From Cheltenham to Royal Ascot or the Breeders' Cup, Irish-bred horses have again flown the flag for our world-class industry in 2022.

“A great deal of this success can be traced back to Ireland's stellar stallions and the farms that handle them so expertly. We encourage breeders and other interested parties to get the Trail dates in the diary and support our hugely valuable thoroughbred breeding industry.”

Free to the public, visitors are requested to register which studs they intend to visit via the ITM website. Due to demand, it is imperative to register for a specific date and time slot if visiting Coolmore.
