update on owners returning to the racetrack

5/5/2021

​AIRO would like to inform members that we are in constant contact with Horse Racing Ireland regarding owners returning  to the track.  We have been informed that HRI met the Minister and Department officials last week and the return of owners to the racecourse was among the agenda items discussed.  The Minister is acutely aware of the importance of owners to our industry and specifically called out their patience and loyalty during the Covid-19 pandemic. 
 
As the legislation currently stands, only essential workers necessary for the operation of a race-meeting are allowed on-course and unfortunately this does not include owners. This legislation will not be altered in the short-term and the best chance of getting owners (HRI’s priority) and racegoers back on track is a change to the public health guidance.
 
The Government announced last week that outdoor sports events will be looked at in June with a view to later in the year. Horse Racing Ireland will continue to make the point that racecourses are open, outdoor venues conducive to holding events in a safe manner and have also offered that horse racing will be available to take part in any outdoor trial events and we will continue to engage with the Minister to that end.  We will continue to pursue this agenda and will keep owners informed.
