Taking place on Saturday, August 29th at the Curragh, the Pat Smullen Race Day evolved from the charity race instigated by the late Pat Smullen in 2019. Since its inception, the raceday and the Curragh to Curragh charity cycle has raised over €1.2 million to support Cancer Trials Ireland. Alongside the guaranteed donation, Tote is funding a €250 charity bet at each of the four Summer Series meetings at the Curragh this month. Any winnings from the four bets will be added in full to the €1,000 donation.

Each weekly charity bet will be selected by a different racing media personality, with their selections shared across Tote and the Curragh’s social media channels ahead of each meeting.

The final fundraising total, comprising the guaranteed €1,000 donation plus any winnings generated through the four charity bets, will be presented to Cancer Trials Ireland following the conclusion of the Summer Series on August 29th, when the feature race is the Tote Irish Cambridgeshire.
