Irish EBF to increase sponsorship contribution to €2.5m

Irish racing has been given a boost ahead of its return on June 8, with the Irish European Breeders Fund announcing an increased prize-money allocation of €2.5m in 2020.

The Irish EBF is the biggest sponsor in the sport in Ireland and has moved to ensure all funds, including those not distributed during the suspension of racing, are allocated and the remaining prize-money is assigned with a focus on grassroots races throughout the rest of the year
