Irish wagering firm BoyleSports has deepened its connection to Irish equestrian sports by securing a comprehensive agreement with Horse Racing Ireland (HRI). The pact encompasses a three-year continuation of their title sponsorship of the Irish Grand National, marking an impressive 13-year association with this celebrated race.
However, the partnership extends beyond the Grand National. BoyleSports is also broadening its footprint at Leopardstown, Navan, and Tipperary racecourses. With BoyleSports’ support, the Irish Grand National will now be the most lucrative race in the 2024 Irish National Hunt schedule, boasting a prize fund of €500,000 (approximately $543,190!).
Enthusiasts of horse racing can also find BoyleSports as the official betting associate for the Leopardstown Summer Series. This well-received series unfolds from May to August with nine exhilarating race days, linking BoyleSports with one of Ireland’s most esteemed racing and social gatherings.
Furthermore, BoyleSports is sponsoring the Grade 3 Joe Mac Novice Hurdle at Tipperary Races’ Super Sunday event and the Grade 2 Webster Cup Chase at Navan Racecourse.
Vlad Kaltenieks, Chief Executive Officer of BoyleSports, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to maintain our sponsorship of the BoyleSports Irish Grand National. This race has delivered some genuinely memorable instances over time, and we are certain that this year and those to follow will be no different.”
The dynamic landscape of equestrian competition sees constant evolution, yet one element persists: an unyielding dedication to bolstering Irish racing. This fervor is jointly held with our collaborators at Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and their respective tracks.
“Since 2014, BoyleSports has proven to be an exceptional ally at Fairyhouse,” remarked Paul Dermody, Chief Executive Officer of HRI Racecourses. “This broadened accord, encompassing additional HRI courses such as Leopardstown, Tipperary, and Navan, stands as a testament to the robust bond we’ve cultivated.”
He continued, “Our alliance continues to furnish BoyleSports with substantial commercial prospects and worth, and we eagerly anticipate supporting them as they execute upon this agreement.”
