THE Irish Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association will host an industry trade fair in Goffs on January 26th-27th.

Expo ‘18 will be a repeat of an event staged originally at Goffs in 2010 and moved to Leopardstown in 2012.

The Expo provide exhibitors with a platform to showcase and sell products. There will also be an extensive event programme over the two days which will include seminars, commercial presentations and various workshops. The highlight of the event will be the international breeding and racing forum which will take place on Friday evening.

ITBA CEO Shane O’Dwyer said: “The ITBA Expo ‘18 will showcase the latest innovations from machinery to technology, veterinary to equine nutrition, stallion selection to land management.”

ITBA Next Generation, the organisation’s youth wing, will also be involved.

O’Dwyer added: “We hope to have details finalised in the coming weeks but, in the meantime, potential exhibitors are advised to contact the ITBA office to book their stand. It would be a shame to miss this event.”
