EVA Maria Bucher Haefner’s Moyglare Stud will be giving a helping hand to stable staff working at the Curragh throughout their 2017 season by sponsoring their canteen, starting with the first of 18 race days today.

All stable staff involved on a race day will be able to enjoy a complimentary meal in the racecourse canteen on the days they have runners, courtesy of Moyglare Stud.

Eva Maria Bucher Haefner said, “I am very pleased to support stable staff without whose often long hours and dedication, racing simply would not happen.”

The catering in the stable staff canteen is recognised as one of the best in the country with caterer Kathleen Hanratty having received a presentation at the Godolphin Stud and Stable Awards last year but don’t eat too much as you still have to deal with those fidgety thoroughbreds.

In addition to its contribution to the ongoing Curragh re-development, Moyglare Stud’s support of the Curragh continues with their longstanding sponsorship of the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes which this year celebrates it’s 45th running under the Moyglare name.

A recent addition to their sponsor package is the Group 2 Moyglare `Jewels’ Blandford Stakes.

As part of this sponsorship, Ms Bucher Haefner presents valuable prizes to both the groom in charge of the horse judged to be best turned out and to the groom in charge of the winning horse of both races.
