THE silks worn by Rachael Blackmore on Honeysuckle for all her Grade 1 wins were unveiled this week in the Irish Racehorse Experience at the Irish National Stud.

A new donation point for the charity ChildVision has also been installed under the newly framed silks. These signed silks were auctioned for €105,000 to support ChildVision’s new indoor equine centre in Drumcondra, Dublin, named in memory of Jack de Bromhead.

The winning bid, made by Peter Molony on behalf of ‘The Friends of the Irish National Stud’, supports the centre for children with visual impairments. Honeysuckle’s owner, Kenny Alexander, offered the silks worn during her 13 Grade 1 victories to fund the centre’s operating costs.

Spearheaded by de Bromhead family friend and well-known racehorse owner, Chris Jones, and with the blessing of Jack’s parents Heather and Henry, the €1 million donation target required to complete the equine therapeutic centre was reached last December.
