Welcome to Day 1 of Dublin Racing Festival 2022. There is a top quality day of racing today with four Grade 1 races, a leading Grade 2 bumper and two competitive handicaps. Todays feature race, the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup promises to be another thrilling contest and we are very grateful for the support of Paddy Power

for this and the two supporting handicap races.

We also welcome the return of full crowds to Leopardstown for the first time since Dublin Racing Festival 2020. We are delighted to have racing fans back to experience National Hunt racing at Leopardstown and look forward to seeing everyone, without you, there has been a huge void at racing for the past two years.

Welcome to the first of our eight Bulmer’s Live at Leopardstown racing and music evenings, we have again taken the time to put together a diverse list of bands to suit all tastes of music genres and we hope you enjoy! – Wild Youth open the series tonight and they are swiftly followed by Keywest, Mark McCabe, Wallis Bird, The Undertones, The Academic, The Human League and the Whistlin’ Donkeys.

As with our spectators, our sponsors are integral to our racedays and we are very thankful for the support of Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors, Racing TV, and Goffs today, many of whom have supported Dublin Racing Festival since its inception. The continued support of all of todays sponsors have ensured we can continue to deliver competitive racing on what has become a marquee festival in the National Hunt calendar in only it’s fifth year as a festival.

The quality of racing at Leopardstown is maintained all summer and we are delighted to stage two Listed events tonight, The King George V Cup and the Glencairn Stakes. The King George V Cup was first staged in 1911 when Kirk Bloom won the race for Daniel Moloney. We are honoured that The British Ambassador, Mr. Paul Johnston, and his wife Mrs. Nicola Johnston, are with us this evening and will present the trophy to the winning owner of the King George V Cup.

We are delighted to welcome Skippio to the racecourse this evening as sponsors of the second race. Skippio, a new innovative app solution that significantly improves customers satisfaction at large-scale events, has been selected onto the final phase of Enterprise Ireland’s New Frontier’s Accelerator Development Scheme and was also a regional finalist in Irelands largest startup competition, Seedcorn.

We want to emphasise to all those attending, that although government restrictions relating to Covid-19 have been eased, we continue to encourage diligence and ask everyone to be mindful of others and continue best practice in relation to hand sanitising and masked wearing in crowded areas.

HRI Racecourses recently unveiled a primary partnership with Bulmers Ireland where they will become the Official Entertainment Partner of HRI Racecourses with the aim of enhancing all racegoers experience across our four racecourses at Leopardstown, Fairyhouse, Navan and Tipperary, the first manifestation of this is at Dublin Racing Festival and we are looking forward to seeing Mundy and his band playing live on stage in the Bulmers Secret Orchard Marquee after racing today.

The app brings efficiency to venues by reducing customer queuing times therefore increasing customer satisfaction and will be utilised at the eight Bulmers Live at Leopardstown race meetings this year. Customers will now be able to order from anywhere in the venue and be notified when their orders are ready for collection.

Should you require any assistance throughout the day, or notice anything that is not to your satisfaction, please don’t hesitate to bring it to the attention of myself or a member of the Leopardstown Staff. We hope you have a enjoyable day at Leopardstown Racecourse with us today.

HORSE WELFARE – A PRIORITY

At every race meeting there are specially qualified equine veterinary surgeons on duty to look after the wellbeing of all the horses racing. There is a vet in attendance at the start of each race who, follows the horses throughout the race and is quickly on hand if a casualty occurs. It is normal procedure to erect screens around any horse receiving veterinary treatment. This allows the veterinary surgeon some privacy to fully assess the horses’ injuries and race goers should not assume the worst if screens are erected around an injured horse. The Blue Cross ambulance is always present to transport the horse back to the stable yard for further treatment if necessary.

A second veterinary surgeon is in attendance in the stable yard to assess and treat any horses requiring such attention post race.

The horses’ welfare is always our priority.

EMERGENCY NOTICE

In the event of a Garda Siochana order to evacuate the stands and enclosures, the following procedures will be adopted:

1. ORDERS TO EVACUATE WILL BE MADE ON THE PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM.

2. VISUAL NOTICE WILL BE FLASHED ON THE CLOSED CIRCUIT T.V.

3. THE FIRE ALARM MAY BE SOUNDED INTERMITTENTLY.

Customers should proceed in an orderly fashion, through the EXITS to the ASSEMBLY POINTS on the RACETRACK, and remain there until the ALL CLEAR has been given.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU KNOW YOUR EXIT ROUTE.

RACE VERDICT

Considering she had not run since last August, HELPMEOUT performed well when fourth at the Curragh recently. She has won twice over C&D and may account for two of her Curragh opponents, third-placed Jaafel, and Eloquent Arthur who took fifth. Others to consider are Chavajod and Fastman, winner and second over C&D just under three weeks ago, and Dagoda, a maiden who went close at Cork last time. [Alan Sweetman]

The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)

RACE VERDICT

Cork 7f winner SUMMER SNOW may prove even more effective over the extra furlong and can uphold form with runner-up Angel’s Feather. Penalised Listowel winner Drop The Dip and last week’s Roscommon third Cherry Pink should also be in the mix. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post
