INDUSTRY leaders, family and friends of the 26 students on this year’s Thoroughbred Breeding Course at the Irish National Stud gathered on Friday last to celebrate their completion of the six-month programme and to witness the prize-giving ceremony.

The first Thoroughbred Breeding Course was in 1971 and today it remains one of the most prestigious in the world. The aim of the course is to educate young people for a career in the thoroughbred industry.
