Everyone wants a touch of golf glamour

RACEHORSES, stamps, artists, chefs and fashionistas. It seems there is nothing or nobody that doesn’t want to be associated with Ryder Cup guff… er, golf.

The country’s top stallions and mares might not be allowed race over the hallowed turf of the K Club, but it won’t stop them jumping on the golf bandwagon next week as The Curragh is hosting a Ryder Cup Race Day next Tuesday.

The meeting will feature the inaugural Shelbourne Hotel Goffs Millions race whose top prize of €1 million makes it the richest horse race in Europe for two-year-olds.
