APPLICATIONS are now open for students and graduates from colleges and universities across the country for five internships with Horse Racing Ireland for the summer of 2016. Placements will be made in each of the four HRI racecourses – Fairyhouse, Navan, Leopardstown and Tipperary, as well as HRI headquarters in Newbridge, Co Kildare.

Having being a successful candidate last year I would strongly advise third level students and graduates with an interest in any aspect of the racing industry to apply.
