Breeders’ Championship prize fund quadrupled

THE prize fund for the Irish Horse Board sponsored Breeders’ Championship at this year’s Failte Ireland Dublin Horse Show has quadrupled from last year to an unprecedented €20,000, with a winner’s prize of €5,000.

Other substantial prizes will be awarded, in addition to €5,000 for the three best foals by a thoroughbred sire, to promote the traditional and successful Irish cross.

The RDS said it was delighted the Irish Horse Board will sponsor the Championship at the August 3 to 7 show in Ballsbridge.
