The Irish EBF Barrier Trials are soon to return with three dates approved from May to August, Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) announced on Wednesday.
Naas will again host the first day on Monday, May 26 on the inside track over six and seven furlongs, with Dundalk staging the middle fixture on Monday, July 7. The final date is set for Leopardstown on Wednesday, August 27, again over six and seven furlongs.
As in the past, each fixture will be restricted to named and unraced two-year-olds and three-year-olds with stalls certificates.
“We are grateful to everyone involved for giving us the go-ahead to put on three more days of trials,” said Charles O'Neill, CEO of Irish Thoroughbred Marketing. “Last year was the best yet in terms of participation and horses sold abroad unraced and we would love to generate similar trade this year.”
