However, the first-named is drawn high and the form of the latter’s maiden win hasn’t really worked out.

WHAT IS PRIDE?

Pride is the Promotion of self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (lgbtq+) PeoPle as a social grouP.

June is Pride month; it is a month dedicated to celebrating the lgbtq+ communities all around the world. June is the month chosen to celebrate Pride as it was the month of the stonewall riots, the Protests that changed gay rights for a lot of PeoPle worldwide. the stonewall uPrising was the tiPPing Point for gay liberation movement in the united states. it is about PeoPle coming together in love and friendshiP and being Proud of who you are no matter who you love. it is about teaching tolerance, education in Pride history and continuing to move forward in equality.

5 FACTS ABOUT LGBTQ+

1. in 2013, Jack duern was the first Jockey to be oPenly gay in uk and ireland racing.

2. 1 in 25 PeoPle describe themselves as gay, lesbian or bisexual. however, the Percentage of lgbtq+ community in racing is negligible. this indicates that many PeoPle in the industry aren’t oPen about their sexuality.

3. 88% of the racing survey and 77% of the Jockey survey resPonded on the Positive side of neutral when asked how their oPinion would be imPacted by having a gay, lesbian or bisexual colleague.

4. in an english racing survey, the resPonses showed significant Percentages of individuals identifying as non-heterosexual across both survey samPle PoPulations – likely to be in line with national PoPulation estimates if extraPolated. interestingly, 0.33% of the racing survey resPondents did not wish to disclose their sexuality at all, however this figure rose to 5.37% amongst the Jockey PoPulation samPled.

Horse Care on Raceday

The wellbeing of horses is integral to the thoroughbred racehorse industry. Racecourses play their part through adherence to a clear set of industry standards. Prior to each race meeting an independent track inspection is carried out by an IHRB accredited “Clerk of the Course”. This individual will check all equine facilities, including ground conditions, railing, stables and veterinary care facilities. All racecourses must meet the required standards to be granted a licence to race.

At every race meeting a team of equine veterinary surgeons supervise the wellbeing of horses. All racecourse vets must be members of the Association of Irish Racecourse Veterinary Surgeons (AIRVS) and will have received specialist training in the field of racecourse work.

The IHRB Veterinary Officer at each meeting has responsibilities including:

• Horse Identification - achieved through checking their microchip numbers against those recorded in their passports.

• Drug Testing - a process is vital to ensure the integrity of the sport.

• General oversight of horse care and wellbeing.

• Provision of advice to the Stewards, on veterinary matters. A racecourse vet will check horses at the start for each race. If they deem any horse unfit to race at this point, they have the authority to withdraw the horse. During the race the vets follow on, within the convoy of vehicles seen on the service road. Other vehicles in this convoy include doctors, paramedics and ground-staff. This whole team will swing into action if any incident occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse or jockey receiving treatment. This allows the veterinary or medical teams some privacy to fully assess the casualty. Racegoers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured participant.

The Blue Cross Horse Ambulance are also present every meeting, the service is operated by skilled personnel using specially equipped horse ambulances. They work to support the Veterinary Team. They respond swiftly to any incidents involving injured horses and transport them off the racetrack for specialist veterinary care if required.

The presentation of the horses on race day reflects the preparation at home. The results of good feeding, good housing, good health, and good wellbeing are clear to see when a horse appears at the races bright-eyed with a gleaming coat and a spring in their step. Raceday is great opportunity for the public to observe the high standards of care given to these horses.

All horses are accompanied on raceday by their own dedicated stable staff. These skilled people will have spent many months and sometimes years preparing their horses for the raceday. They lavish care and attention, day in, day out, in all weathers, and the industry is extremely proud of these excellent individuals. They help maintain Ireland’s position as an international leader in the thoroughbred breeding, training, and racing industry, ensuring best-in-class integrity and equine welfare standards.

RACE VERDICT

Open race and many of them have bits and pieces of chances. Tom McCourt’s pair Shining Aitch and Rampage both have clear chances, the consistent Skontonovski should be thereabouts, while there is plenty to like about Everylittlestep. The one to beat though could be ATBAY(nap) after being dropped a couple for good runs at Roscommon and Listowel and with a good draw. [Justin O’Hanlon] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT

Whatawit is a dual UK bumper winner and has to be respected being sent over for this by his top trainer. However, NIKINI has achieved more in NH terms and was a fine fourth in a Sligo maiden last time after being slowly away, so can score. Pahlavi, Aussie Warrior, Enniskerry and Mon Coeur are all capable of being involved. [Tyrone Molloy] Source: Racing Post
