Our final sponsored race of the season, The TRM From Ireland to the World Apprentice Handicap, took place at Naas Racecourse, marking the close of the 2024 flat season. Bear Profit, trained by Gerard O’Leary and ridden by apprentice Darragh O’Sullivan, claimed victory. As part of an exciting new initiative, Darragh has gained a sponsorship with TRM for the upcoming flat season. We look forward to following his journey closely next year.
The Trainers League showcased strong competition, with Ger Lyons finishing at the top, followed by Aidan O’Brien in second, and Johnny Murtagh in third. Ger Lyons’ stable remains in outstanding form at the Breeders’ Cup where Magnum Force, ridden by Colin Keane, secured a win in the Juvenile Turf Sprint (Grade 1) over 5 furlongs.
For the second year in a row, Michael O’Callaghan’s yard earned the Best Turned Out League title, with their horses always looking immaculately turned out.
Our thanks go out to Naas Racecourse for another extraordinary season. Your expertise, hospitality and top-notch facilities have made it a memorable year.
