Racing TV is delighted to announce its sponsorship of the €125,000 Grade 1 Racing TV ‘€12 per Month This Weekend Only’ Juvenile Hurdle on the opening day of the showpiece Dublin Racing Festival on February 5.
The race is one of the most significant juvenile contests run in the UK and Ireland and was won last year by Quilixios, who went on to glory in the JCB Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
The leading horseracing channel will also be marking the occasion by offering Irish residents the golden opportunity to join for the best-ever price of €12 per month (normally €31) in Republic of Ireland and £10 per month (normally £24.98) in Northern Ireland for 12 months.
