This is the front on the "Go Racing" Marquee at the Ploughing Championships in Tullamore this year (Sept 25th - 27th). This photo was taken on Thursday just after the front had gone up, so still plenty more to be added!
This is HRI's fourth Ploughing Championships and we'll be following a similiar tried and tested formula to that of the previous years. Hector O hEochagain will host on the Tuesday and Wednesday and we have Brendan McArdle for Thursday. We'll be following the same format of three workshop events each day at 11am, 2pm & 4pm part of which will be interviews with the country's top trainers and jockeys; confirmed so far we have Ruby Walsh, Mouse Morris, Frances Crowley, Davy Russell, Jimmy Mangan, Pat Smullen, Eddie Harty, Robert Power, Paddy Flood & Garret Cotter (-many more to confirm over the weekend).
With over 40,000 people from all over Ireland attending the Ploughing each day this is a great opportunity for the racecourses to promote their winter meetings, and most will be in attendance providing information and offers to the public. We'll also be joined by Tote Ireland, the Irish National Stud and RACE (Racing Academy & Centre of Education), who will be on hand with their race simulator giving race riding demonstrations to budding jockeys.
It's a hard few days but well worth the results - let's hope it stays dry!!!
