Moyglare Boost For Stable Staff

Irish stable staff received some positive news on Monday when it was revealed that Moyglare Stud will sponsor the grooms canteen at The Curragh this season. Thanks to the generous sponsorship all stable staff will be able to enjoy a complimentary meal in the racecourse canteen on all race days they have runners, beginning this weekend. Moyglare have a long association with the Curragh. Apart from having a large string in training nearby with Dermot Weld, the stud this year will celebrate its 45^th year sponsoring the G1 Moyglare Stud S., a race won last year by the Joseph O'Brien trained Intricately (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}). Moyglare's Eva Maria Bucher Haefner daughter of the late Walter Haefner, commented, “I am very pleased to support stable staff without whose often long hours and dedication, racing simply would not happen.” In recent years Moyglare Stud has broadened its sponsorship portfolio to include the G2 Moyglare “Jewels” Blandford S.

Another feature of the sponsorship includes Bucher Haefner presenting valuable prizes to both the groom in charge of the horse judged to be best turned out and to the groom in charge of the winning horse of both races. CEO of The Curragh Derek McGrath commented, “This is a hugely positive initiative and we are very grateful to Eva Maria Bucher Haefner for her generosity. The Haefner family's overall support of the Curragh since the first Moyglare Stud Stakes was run in 1973 has been highly significant and greatly appreciated and we look forward to continuing our long standing relationship with her long into the future.”
