THE Weatherbys ITBA National Hunt Bonus scheme was very successful during April with five winners and €25,000 paid out in bonuses.

Burgage Stud bred Our Valentina, who started the proceedings on April 1st for trainer Stuart Crawford and the Horseplay Syndicate when she won her maiden hurdle in Navan Racecourse. The Turfman’s Daughter secured her first bonus for connections and trainer Noel Meade when she comfortably won her maiden hurdle during students’ day at Limerick Racecourse.
