Platinum moves to Eyrefield

PLATINUM Bloodstock, run by Robert and Amber Byrne, has recently taken a long-term lease on Eyrefield House Stud, one of the most renowned farms on the Curragh. The farm is steeped in racing history, having hosted the Beasley brothers and the late Willie Macauley.

Robert Byrne said: “We have been looking for a farm of this calibre for a while. We are very lucky to have secured such a wonderful farm in a fantastic location. It is 160 acres of the best possible land with all the facilities to run a successful boarding and breeding business, so it is full steam ahead to expand and grow.

“We are very grateful to our clients who moved with us, to the Dargan family for agreeing to lease the farm, and we look forward to welcoming new clients to Eyrefield.”
