The Gain Marble Hill S. at the Curragh will be run in the memory of the late Theresa Marnane. The Group 3 contest, which takes place on Saturday May 2, was won by the Marnane family's Givemethebeatboys (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) last year.
Theresa was a hugely popular member of the racing and breeding industry alongside her husband Con and daughters Amy and Olivia. The Marnane family is associated with countless top-notch graduates, including Group 1 winners Sands Of Mali, Fleeting Spirit, Amadeus Wolf and Rio De La Plata.
Brian Kavanagh, Chief Executive at the Curragh said, “Theresa was a much loved and dearly missed member of the Irish bloodstock community. The Curragh in association with GAIN is delighted to be able to run one of our most prestigious races for juveniles in her memory, a race which was won last year by the Marnane family owned Givemethebeatboys. We look forward to welcoming Con, Amy, Olivia, their extended family and many friends to the races.”
Philip Gilligan, Irish Country Manager GAIN Equine Nutrition, added, “On behalf of the team at GAIN, we are delighted to offer our support and run the 2024 GAIN Marble Hill Stakes in honour and memory of Theresa Marnane, whose delight at the victory of Givemethebeatboys in last year's race is a lasting memory for the family. We hope that this will be a fitting tribute to honour her legacy to the bloodstock and racing Industry.”
