Inaugural Barney Curley Charity Cup To Be Held At Bellewstown

The first edition of the Barney Curley Charity Cup will take place at Bellewstown Racecourse on Wednesday, Sept. 28. This event follows on from the Barney Curley race day at the course last September that raised over €100,000 for the late Curley's charity Direct Aid For Africa (DAFA). Jockey Frankie Dettori and trainer Willie Mullins have been named captains of two teams of seven riders that will go head-to-head over two races. The event is sponsored by Gannon City Recovery & Recycling Services Limited and The Gallagher Group. Points will be awarded to the first eight placed horses on a scale of 15, 12, 10, 8, 7,6, 5, 4 and the team that accumulates the highest number of points across the two races in the challenge will be deemed the winner of the Barney Curley Charity Cup.
