Ask your veterinary surgeon to test your horses with the SUCCEED® Equine Fecal Blood Test™. Maintaining optimal digestive health is more than just avoiding serious health issues like ulcers and colic. The horse’s digestive system is the key to his ability to train effectively and perform to potential, not to mention his overall health, temperament, physical appearance… everything. That’s why you should have your vet test your horses regularly with the SUCCEED Equine Fecal Blood Test (FBT). The SUCCEED FBT allows your vet to assess whether a horse has an underlying GI tract condition in minutes, right on the yard. www.succeedfbt.co.uk When you know what’s going on beneath the surface, you can take action and keep the digestive system of every horse running like it should.

Looking ahead, trainers without runners wishing to travel to the Aintree Festival from the 12th to the 14th April need to apply to our office on045-522981 or [email protected] before Wednesday, 11th April. In relation to the Stable Staff Pension Scheme, some trainers have still not sent in their Deed of Adherence forms, which needs to be signed and returned to Horse Racing Ireland as soon as possible. Sorry to have to point out, but please can trainers ask their employees to return their forms to Irish Life, as we do not want them to miss out on their entitlements. In other news, if trainers feel that there are no available races for their horse to compete in, could they contact our office, to enable us to make representation to the H.R.I. racing department on their behalf. Meanwhile, we are still working with the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation regarding work permits.

  • Media Guide Welcome to Royal Ascot from Her Majesty’S Representative
    MEDIA GUIDE WELCOME TO ROYAL ASCOT FROM HER MAJESTY’S REPRESENTATIVE May I wish a warm welcome to the world’s media in this very special Diamond Jubilee year. Her Majesty The Queen has owned no fewer than 63 Ascot winners, 20 of them at the Royal Meeting, and it’s always a great thrill for everyone when the Royal colours are successful. It would be marvellous for that to happen this year. We recall the perfect timing in Silver Jubilee year when dual Classic-winning Dunfermline provided tremendous success for The Queen. As part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, we are staging a very special exhibition titled “60 years of Royal Ascot during the Reign of Her Majesty The Queen.” Situated beside the pre-parade ring, this is a photographic commemoration of the Royal Family at Ascot over the past 60 years. Central to the Royal Meeting is the fact that, on the track, we have the finest programme of races anywhere in the world. We have increased our prize money this year by £715,000 and now offer £4.5 million across the 30 races of the five-day meeting. None of the races are worth less than £55,000. Two of our races offer prize money of £500,000 each. We have renamed The Golden Jubilee Stakes. From this year it is The Diamond Jubilee Stakes and with prize money of £500,000 it is Britain’s most valuable sprint race. Royal Ascot’s two legs of the Global Sprint Challenge, The King’s Stand Stakes on Tuesday and The Diamond Jubilee Stakes on Saturday, will again feature a truly cosmopolitan field of runners.
