It was frantic but this morning the booklet was sent to the printers…for the big day tomorrow…massive credit to Brenda O’Brien was has hardly slept a wink the past two nights.  Huge thanks to Brenda.

And to all the sponsors, donors and horse buyers – the response has been incredible with almost €6000 in advertising, sponsorship and donations alone and with 307 horses sold, we could hit 10K which will go along way towards the target of 30K to have a Playground in Manor Kilbride before Saint Patrick’s day next year.  Fair play to everyone and the community at large.

I look forward to seeing you in Miley’s tomorrow from 9.30PM where you can place small bets on the night on the tote (cash or card) and there is an auction race later in the night.  We will have 200 booklets available on the night and you can download the booket here in advance if you wish or even check out which race your horse is in.

We will over the coming weeks profile all our Race Night sponsors on our social media platforms, website and email, so please support these generous companies if you can in any way possible.  The list includes:
