Top Irish Jumps Trainers Reported To Challenge Horse Racing Ireland Plan

Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Henry de Bromhead and Gavin Cromwell are reported by the Racing Post to be considering legal action over a move by Horse Racing Ireland to schedule 60 races for trainers that have saddled less than 50 winners in either of the previous two seasons.

Such a move would exclude the aforementioned leading jumps trainers.

The initiative is supported by the Irish Racehorse Trainers Association.

There were over 1500 jumps races held in Ireland in 2023.
