More tracks pitch in for Tsunami Disaster Fund

Tom Aherne

The Dublin track has set itself a massive target of E150,000 and, while the smaller tracks can’t match that, they still hope to come up with sizeable sums. Plans are already at an advanced stage at Curraheen Park and General Manager Noel Holland says the surge of goodwill generated by the tragic images emanating from the region has been staggering and is hopeful of meeting the E30,000 target.

He already has numerous pledges and seven races sponsored. However, the door is still open and people can either sponsor individual races, become individual dog sponsors (at E100 each dog) or purchase places for groups of four or more in the Restaurant. Staff at the track will also be chipping in and other initiatives are also in the pipeline. Admission on the night is E10.
