The Department of Agriculture allocated €102 million to the fund in Budget 2027, an increase of €2.9 million from the prior year. This funding announcement followed the start of the Bar 1 Betting Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park on Saturday night, September 30, with an installment of the Irish Focus on sisracing.tv set to review opening round highlights.
