Improved Ticket Policy For Irish Owners

Irish racehorse owners can look forward to increased ticket allocations thanks to new policy being introduced by the Association of Irish Racecourses (AIR) in conjunction with Horse Racing Ireland. From Dec. 1, sole owners, partnerships, clubs and companies can, along with their current allocation of AIR access cards, request up to an additional four admission tickets. Furthermore, an ownership syndicate can request admission for any registered member of the syndicate who does not have an AIR card, thereby ensuring all members receive admission when they have a runner. The process of requesting the additional tickets will be managed between each individual racecourse and the Ownership Department of Horse Racing Ireland. Tickets must be requested in advance of the stated deadline with full information available on www.racehorseownership.ie/tickets.

Aidan McGarry, HRI's Owner Relations Manager, commented, “Racecourse admission was one of the main concerns raised in the most recent Racehorse Owner Survey carried out by HRI. The racecourses are such an important stakeholder in the racehorse owner's experience so together with the investment in owner facilities through the HRI Racecourse Capital Development Fund, this is an excellent offering. Ensuring that all syndicate members receive admission is particularly welcomed and the support from the racecourses is greatly appreciated.”
