A new dawn for RACE 🌄

This week, more than 140 representatives from across racing, government, education & the local community joined us for the National Equine Campus Stakeholder Engagement Day.

We were delighted to welcome Minister for Agriculture, Food & the Marine Martin Heydon, who spoke positively about the project & its importance to the future of Irish racing.

Building on RACE’s proud legacy, the National Equine Campus will become a national centre for education, training, wellbeing, rehabilitation & high-performance services.

The strong turnout, positive discussions & shared enthusiasm on the day showed just how much support exists for this transformative project & the opportunities it will create for future generations 🤗
