IN recent years, the treatment of owners at rules courses has come under scrutiny. In response, one of the initiatives many racecourses now offer to owners, is to provide them with a complimentary copy of the race DVD to allow them to relive their successes for the days, weeks and months to come.

For their two-day Loughanmore fixture over the Easter weekend, the East Antrim committee join the Tynan and Armagh Hunt in becoming the second northern-based hunt to provide the winning connections of each race with a copy of the race DVD as a memento of the day. The initiative last weekend was sponsored by City Auction Group, taking the financial cost off the hunt.
