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 QuinnBet Grand National Trial Day.

The QuinnBet Grand Trial has attracted an exciting field of runners and takes centre stage at 2.10pm. In addition to today’s feature we also have an exciting spectacle over the banks course to look forward to in the opening race, the ARKequine Aquatabs InLine P.P. Hogan Memorial Cross Country Chase. Not to mention some very competitive hurdle and novice chase contests before rounding off proceedings with the 2023 Up The Yard Challenge race.

A special welcome and sincere thank you to the Ross family for being here with us today. John Ross was a significant figure at Punchestown and we are delighted to host this race here today in his memory.

Punchestown is the home of Irish jump racing and the quality of racing we stage here would not be possible without the generous support from all of our sponsors. I would like to extend a huge thank you to today’s sponsors who include ARKequine, The Ross Family, Concept Colours, David Trundley and QuinnBet.

Additionally, we are delighted to host the 2023 running of The Up The Yard Challenge Race for stud & stable staff. Sixteen riders from establishments across the country have been prepping for the last few months to make their big appearance on the Punchestown Stage today. We wish them all the very best of luck and would like to thank all Industry support in raising the money to give stablestaff a great day here today.

It’s hard to believe that the 2023 Punchestown Festival is just over 9 weeks away and preparations are in full swing for the flagship event of the Irish Jumps Season. If you’re planning to join us from Tuesday 25th to Saturday 29th April now is the time to buy your tickets with our 15% ticket discount deal ending today. 2023 Punchestown Club Membership, Gift Vouchers and Festival 2023 Tickets and Hospitality are all available to purchase in the main entrance building where any of the team would be delighted to assist you or online at punchestown.com

I look forward to welcoming you back for our final fixture before the 2023 Punchestown Festival which takes place this Wednesday 22nd February where we will have the Racing TV Quevega Mares Hurdle.

In the meantime, I wish you a very enjoyable day and sincerely thank you for your support.

Regards, Conor O’Neill, Punchestown CEO.
