IRISH Thoroughbred Marketing will sponsor a new award in the 2014/’15 Irish point-to-point season, where handlers who have trained a mare to win a point-to-point will be in with a chance to win a voucher worth €5,000, redeemable on a filly at any of the three Irish store sales in 2015.

To be in with a chance to win, handlers have to train a mare to win a point-to-point. Each time a handler wins a point-to-point with a mare they will receive a ticket for a draw. The more wins a handler achieves with mares the more tickets they will accumulate in the draw, hence a greater chance of winning the €5,000.
