Down Royal Racecourse will receive a grant aid of €183,000 from the Horse Racing Ireland Racecourse Capital Development Scheme for improvement projects for its facilities that will cost in the region of €457,000. The projects include re-roofing the main grandstand, re-configuration and moderisation of the weighing room and jockeys' changing area, and a new permanent owners and trainers marquee.
Mike Todd, Down Royal Racecourse Manager, added, “This is an exciting new development for Down Royal which is part of our overall strategy to continue to develop our facilities to ensure we can deliver a first-class experience to all racegoers. Owners and trainers are integral to our sport and this development will allow us to improve their raceday experience at Down Royal, whilst also increasing our covered catered areas for the general racegoers.”
