THE Irish Field & Goffs Cheltenham magazine hit the shops this week and is already receiving rave reviews from readers. A huge amount of work went into its production, not least from designer Garrett Allen whose creative talents shone through in this original Paisley Park masterpiece which is the cover of an incisive article by Donn McClean on agent Gerry Hogan who bought star stayer Paisley Park among others.

So impressed was our sales and marketing manager Brendan McArdle that he suggested we run a competition asking readers to post a photograph on social media of themselves with a copy of the magazine while wearing a paisley shirt!

A mad idea, for sure, but we are so starved of racing action this week that we said we’d give it a go. When posting your photo tag The Irish Field or simply email the snap to the address fieldcomp@theirishfield.ie by next Wednesday February 19th with your, name address and phone number.

You could win one of three pairs of tickets to the Bobbyjo Chase raceday at Fairyhouse next Saturday, February 22nd. The Bobbyjo Chase has proved to be an informative trial for both the BoyleSports Irish Grand National and the Randox Health Grand National in recent years.
