Promoting racing at the ploughing championships

Alan Magee

Published at

HRI will be promoting horse-racing with a stand at the ploughing championship, which take place at Grangeford, near Tullow in Co.Carlow on September 28-30.

The ´Go Racing´ marquee will provide information for interested/potential racegoers and includes free copies of the HRI´s ´Beginners Guide To Horse Racing´.

Representatives will be on hand from many sectors of the sport such as RACE, Tote Ireland, National Stud, the racecourses and UCD & UL horse racing courses.

A series of talks, interviews and entertainment will take place throughout each day, with Hector O´hEochagain the host today and Brian Gleeson taking over for the remaining two days.

The main aims are:

- to create an interest in racing

- provide racing dates for the winter season

- gather names for a database to be used in future promotions.
