Declarations for UK-trained horses to compete in Ireland will not be accepted until the ban is lifted

Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) has advised that no Irish-trained horses or Irish-based jockeys should compete in the UK for the remainder of 2020.

The advice comes in light of the Government’s decision to keep in place until December 31 travel restrictions between Ireland and Britain which had been due to expire at midnight tonight. HRI has also stated that it will not accept entries from UK-based horses during the same period.
