THE Irish Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association North Leinster Region hosted a well-attended and informative meeting in Mullingar Park Hotel last Thursday week, at which regional breeders’ achievements were also acknowledged.

ITBA chairman Cathy Grassick introduced the evening, which was the second in a series of planned regional evenings. She updated those in attendance on the ongoing work the ITBA is undertaking, a key priority being reigniting regional activity and committees, together with enhancing the Association’s communication. North Leinster Region chair Gay Veitch encouraged breeders to put themselves forward for regional committees.
