16th January 2023

Dear Friends of Punchestown,

On behalf of the Kildare Hunt Club and the entire team here at Punchestown, I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you here for today’s racing action.

We have a good quality day of racing to look forward to and I would particularly like to thank todays sponsors the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund who continue to be one of the biggest supporters of Irish racecourse sponsorship. The support of our sponsors, industry bodies and indeed our jockeys, owners, trainers, clients, staff, officials and loyal supporters is greatly appreciated and I thank you for that. Afterall, it is this which enables us to stage such high-quality racing at Punchestown.

Today is a special day as we remember a dear friend of Punchestown, a legend in the point to point field and one of the finest horse men to grace the weighroom, the sadly departed and much missed J.T. McNamara.

We are in full swing for the 2023 Punchestown Festival and will be offering great deals over the weeks and months ahead for tickets and hospitality. Make sure to avail of our 15% Off ticket offer which has limited availability and enjoy the best value offer available between now and the 2023 Festival. Please contact any member of the Punchestown Team to secure your tickets and hospitality packages for this year’s festival which takes place from Tuesday 25th – Saturday 29th April.

On behalf of all the team at Punchestown, I would like to wish you all a very enjoyable day and I look forward to welcoming you back racing to Punchestown on Monday 30th January for the last of our January Jumps series.
