Alkumait Part of a New Sponsorship Agreement With The Curragh

New Castlefield Stud stallion Alkumait (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) is part of a new sponsorship agreement with The Curragh. The two-race package includes the first 2-year-old race of the new Flat Racing season on Mar. 26 and a 10-furlong maiden for 3-year-olds and up on Apr. 10. Both races will be an important part of launching and marketing the stallion's career. The G2 Mill Reef S. winner was purchased by Capital Bloodstock to stand at Castlefield Stud in County Kilkenny after his Mill Reef win. In addition, the breeder of the winner of the “Alkumait standing at Castlefield Stud with a €100,000 Bonus 2yo EBF Maiden” will be presented with a free nomination to the stallion. There is also a €100,000 bonus that will be awarded for the connections associated with his first black-type winner in 2025, with the breeder receiving 50%, the trainer 25% and the owner 25%.

Evan Arkwright, Racing and Sponsorship Manager, commented, “We are delighted to play an important role in the promotion of such an exciting new sire and the two year race in particular is a perfect fit to promote a racehorse who was such a high class juvenile.”
