Preparations are well under way ahead of Ballinrobe’s two day race meeting next week which takes place on Monday May 30 and Tuesday May 31 at the south Mayo venue. Monday’s meeting will be sponsored by Breaffy House Resort and the feature race is the Breaffy House Resort Mares Handicap with a prize fund of €30,000.
Locally based Ballinrobe company McHale will sponsor Tuesday evening’s meeting for the third year running. The all national hunt card has become one of the highlights of the racing season at Ballinrobe. The two feature races on the evening are the McHale Mayo National and the McHale Coranna Handicap Hurdle with a prize fund of €30,000 for each race.
John Flannelly, racecourse manager, said: “We are very fortunate to have two high profile Mayo businesses sponsoring this two day meeting. We would like to thank them for their continuing support and commitment to the racecourse. It is always a great social occasion and we are looking forward to welcoming a large crowd on both evenings.” The first race on each evening will start at 6pm.
