A SPECIAL recognition award at the Godolphin Stable Staff ceremony on Wednesday was given to Dr Jennifer Pugh for the efforts in keeping racing open over the last year, and to acknowledge the support the IHRB team provided to the Irish stud and stable staff during the suspension of racing and since its resumption under restrictions due to the pandemic.

And in accepting, Pugh praised the stable staff for the “exceptional way they conducted themselves across the board”.
