IEVA Conference Hosts 2023 Veterinary Conference

The three-day 2023 IEVA Conference kicked off Nov. 23 at the Cavan Equestrian Centre in Co Cavan, Ireland. The opening day's workshop dealt with the imaging of the equine head, featuring the latest in equine diagnostic imaging equipment displayed by Molloy Veterinary and Celtic SMR. The day rounded out with a quiz and supper at the Slieve Russell Hotel, home to IEVA23.

The next two days, the IEVA Conference–staged at the IEVA Exhibition Hall–delivered a series of lectures, talks and presentations by experts in the field of equine veterinary as well as a number of case studies and abstract studies. A series of hands-on workshops took place over the two days also.

Milda Baltrimaire from Tullyraine Equine Clinic was honored with the IMV Imaging sponsored Case Awards. Baltrimaire earned the award for her study into Absorbable urethral stent placement in the standing horse for the successful treatment of a urethral stricture.

Additionally, the inaugural Future Proof campaign saw many industry stakeholders sponsor a veterinary student to attend IEVA Conference 2023. A total of 17 Irish students, some of who are studying abroad, were able to attend the conference. Plans are to extend the campaign for IEVA24.

Another highlight of this year's event was the Gala Dinner, hosted by Brendan McArdle of The Irish Field. The Gala also featured an auction, benefitting the Veterinary Support Fund and the Elephant In the Room's beneficiary charity; namely Samaritan's Ireland for 2023.

“The weekend highlights were excellent speakers, a truly glamorous Gala Ball and a whopping €6000 raised for charity,” said newly elected President Sabrina Barnwell, of Dooneen Equine Veterinary Clinic. “We discussed heads, behaviour and the latest updates in the papers.”

“This year IEVA23 has continued the Case Award prize with a significant purse for recent graduates and introduced the FutureProof Students Scheme which was generously supported by our industry and saw 17 students supported to attend the event. We are already planning another action-packed conference for 2024.”

Lacey Strikes For Piper Park At Cheltenham

Trainer Tom Lacey paid £205,000 for Piper Park (Ire) (Walk In The Park {Ire}) (lot 39) to top the first edition of the Tattersalls Cheltenham November Sale since it was rebranded under the Tattersalls Jockey Club Sales banner on Friday.

Consigned by Harley Dunne Racing, the 4-year-old filly was one of nine horses to make £100,000 or more. An October maiden winner at Umma House, she is out of a full-sister to Grade 3 hurdle winner Blacklough (Ire) (King's Theatre {Ire}). She was a €58,000 purchase by Dunne and Rob James out of the Tattersalls Ireland Derby Sale last term.

“I was hopeful she'd make that as she's a beautiful filly,” said Dunne. “She was well entitled to make that, but you just don't know when you come here. I'm absolutely over the moon for everyone involved in her and all the lads in the yard. She was going down well so I was hopeful she'd get to that kind of money, but you never know until you get into the ring.”

Another filly, the former €55,000 store horse and now-maiden winner Honky Tonk Highway (Ire) (Milan {GB}) (lot 8), was knocked down for £165,000 to Ryan Mahon/Dan Skelton Racing earlier in the day from the consignment of leading vendor Colin Bowe Racing's Milestone Stables.

Lot 23, the gelding Saint Kristobal (Fr) (Jeu St Eloi {Fr}), was picked up for £155,000 by Tom Malone and Paul Nicholls. Part of Warren Ewing's Bernice Stables, the 4-year-old was a winner at Tattersalls in October and is out of the listed-placed mare Belle Josee (Fr) (Merlin Mago {GB}).

Held at Cheltenham Racecourse, the sale featured point-to-pointers and horses-in-training, with 31 horses sold of 41 offered (76%) for a gross of £2.3 million. The average and median both declined to £74,194 (-13%) and £58,000 (-9%), respectively.

Group Winner Kenway To Stand At Coolagown Stud Next Year

Group 3 winner Kenway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}–Kendam {Fr}, by Kendargent {Fr}) will stand for €3,000 at Coolagown Stud in partnership with his owners, the Chehboub family, next year, Jour de Galop reported.

Bred by Guy Pariente Holding, he was a €56,000 Arqana August buy for the Cheboubs' Haras de la Gousserie, who campaigned him across five seasons and 38 starts. Successful in the G3 Prix la Rochette and a trio of listed races, the 6-year-old was also group-placed another four times and has earned $338,774.

“We are delighted with this partnership with Coolagown Stud on Kenway, as well as having found him a place at stud in Ireland, where he will have an interesting number of mares available,” Pauline Chehboub told JDG. “He has the profile to be a very versatile sire and should attract broodmares on the Flat and over obstacles.”

The best foal of his G3 Prix Eclipse-winning dam who also ran third in the G1 Prix de la Foret, Kenway is kin to G1 Galaxy winner Snowland (Aus) (Snippets {Aus}).

Coolagown's roster is completed by Storm The Stars, who bred 86 mares in his first season, and is also at €3,000; Shantaram (GB) at €1,000; Way To Paris (GB) who attracted 126 partners and will be €3,500; and Zambezi Sun (GB) at €2,000.
