Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 13, 2019 Journalists Share Posted June 13, 2019 A series of three hurdles races will be staged across Ireland this summer that will be restricted to horses solely owned by syndicates or racing clubs. The ‘Tote Backs Your Team Handicap Hurdles’ will be staged at Cork, Bellewstown and Gowran Park, with the first taking place on July 12. The horses must have run for the same ownership group on their previous starts. Amber Byrne, owner development manager for Horse Racing Ireland, said, “This is a pilot scheme. Syndicate and club ownership is recognised as the growth area in the domestic market. These dedicated races give us an opportunity to invite potential owners to the races and promote multiple ownership to our target market. We are grateful to both the Tote for supporting the races and the HRI Programmes Committee for allowing us to trial the scheme.” The post Ireland To Stage Jumps Races For Syndicate and Club Owned Horses appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
