Please see below for horses eligible to run in the Red Mills Irish EBF Hurdle final on 28th October. Entries for this race close tomorrow, 22nd October, at 12 noon.
The Directors of the IHRB using their powers under Rule 22 have approved the modification of the following Rule effective from 19th October. Rule 91 (v) - The IHRB must be satisfied that the certification of vaccination is in compliance with this Rule 91 before a Horse may enter Racecourse Property or run in a Race and shall be entitled to request evidence of same. The vaccination certification must have been approved by the IHRB by 5pm the last working day prior to the day of declaration.
Please note that as per yesterday’s government announcement (Oct 5), unfortunately owners are unable to attend the races when they have a runner. This is in place for 3 weeks with government to review the status at that stage
The Health Screening Check-In Area will open 3 hours before the first race and close 30 minutes before the last race. Attendees who arrive after this time will not be permitted to enter the racecourse. The only exception will be for the first race meeting behind closed doors at a racecourse whereby the Health Screening Check-In Area will open 4 hours before the first and close 30 minutes before the last. Attendees who arrive after this time will not be permitted to enter the racecourse.
Irish trained horses are permitted to participate again in all British races other than Class 5 and 6 handicaps/classified stakes on the Flat, and Class 5 handicaps over Jumps. Any such runners would remain subject to the relevant British Government regulations in place at the time. The new restrictions are intended to balance the importance of GB-trained horses being given an opportunity to run, especially in low-grade handicaps, with the requirement to improve the quality of racing and see the best possible horses compete, and encourage international competition. This approach will remain under constant review with the possibility of a return to tighter restrictions in the future if circumstances change, including all changes to relevant Government regulations.
From Wednesday August 12, it will be a requirement for those working and attending race meetings to wear face coverings at all times, inside and outside. Your continued co-operation with Covid-19 protocols is greatly appreciated, and this policy will be kept under review.

Part of the temporary changes to HRI Directive 10 effective from 1st June 2020 which were made to ensure as many individual runners as possible get to run in this race category as quickly as possible is now reversed effective from 27th July 2020:.... When the re-ballot is done on the day of declarations in regards to horses which have run after the time of entry, the winner, the second and the third placed horses will not be resequenced as temporarily introduced for the resumption of racing between 8 June and 26 July 2020 (all horses which finished fourth or lower will be put to the end of the ballot).... THE MODIFICATIONS ARE UNDERLINED.
The COVID-19 Response Plan and associated documents are designed to support employers and workers to put measures in place that will prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. The plan should be used by all workplaces to adapt their workplace procedures and practices to comply fully with the COVID-19 related public health protection measures identified as necessary by the HSE.
