Qipco has signed on to sponsor the G1 Qipco Irish Champion S. for another three years. Qipco first sponsored the race in 2014, and last year proved a highlight with Almanzor (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}) leading home eight other Group 1 winners.
Leopardstown chief executive Pat Keogh said, “Since they became involved, the Qipco Irish Champion S. has established itself as one of the top races in the world.”
Sheikh Fahad Al Thani, chairman of Qatar Racing and director of Qipco, added, “From the outset, we wanted to lend our support to Irish Champions Weekend and, in particular, the Qipco Irish Champion S. as the centrepiece of the event.”
