Growing interest in the weekly Bitch Stakes

Growing interest in the weekly Bitch Stakes

This not-to-be-missed event for our forgotten athletes is held at tracks throughout the country and the succession of races, solely for bitches, is helping to increase and build their racing credentials.  
 
The potential to improve breeding prospects from a proven dam can only be encouraged and bodes well for the long term health of the industry in Ireland.    
 
It’s a good news story for everyone and we look forward to continued growth and success.
