Irish Sport Horses take 41% of 1st places in 43 classes this week.

A fantastic week for Irish breeders as they have produced 76% of the podium places across all classes in the results this week. (Better than the Irish trainers at Cheltenham?). There is such a spread of breeders that it is hard to find anyone mentioned twice. Another sign that horse breeding is not elite but practiced by many who are all making Ireland great. Perhaps the TDs should read these results and have a little more respect for Irish breeders and all that goes into making the Irish Sport Horse so influential.
