New sponsorship for stores under €30,000

TATTERSALLS Ireland, along with the European Breeders Fund, have agreed to sponsor a fantastic initiative whereby there will be six auction maiden hurdle races confined to horses sold as three or four-year-old stores for less than €30,000. These races are worth €20,000 each with prize money for the first five home. With a first prize of €12,500 to the winner of one of these maiden hurdles and two races confined to mares only, a winning mare if eligible for the ITBA Mares Scheme can earn a further €5,000 on top of the €12,500. There is a great opportunity to buy a filly at a store sale this year and win €17,500 as a four, five or six-year-old.
