PRIZE MONEY

​“HRI is committed to offering prize money which bears the most favourable international comparison. HRI intends to ensure that all horses are rewarded broadly in accordance with their ability throughout their careers. There is a particular emphasis on maintaining high levels of prize money for the highest quality races under both codes, which will hopefully lead to even more top class horses being campaigned in Ireland in the future”.
