Kilkenny’s back-room team have been integral in our senior team’s success and continue to play a vital role. The same can be said for those working behind the scenes in racing – their hard work, dedication in all weather and unique horsemanship skills has significantly contributed to many Irish racing success stories at home and abroad. I’m really looking forward to meeting all the Godolphin Stud and Stable Staff Awards finalists in the Newpark Hotel on Tuesday, May 9th.”
