ITM (Irish Thoroughbred Marketing) has expanded its promotion of National Hunt fillies by sponsoring four mares’ only bumpers in Britain in 2019.

One sponsorship was at Wetherby last Tuesday, and the others are Plumpton on Monday, February 25th, Chepstow on March 21th, and Musselburgh on March 22nd. At each meeting, ITM will host hospitality at the racecourse for all owners and trainers.

The sponsorship for each race will include a €2,000 voucher awarded to the winning owner, redeemable on a filly at an Irish store sale, as well as flights and accommodation for the winning trainer for their chosen sale.

ITM aims to continue the promotion of National Hunt fillies through an advertising campaign highlighting the success of Irish-bred National Hunt fillies.

ITM will also continue to present the leading mares’ point-to-point handler with a similar voucher at the Irish point-to-point awards.
