The Plusvital Leopardstown Trainers Championship, which will run from June 3-Aug. 12, was announced by Leopardstown Racecourse on Wednesday.
Each trainer will receive points for their wins at the meetings, with the overall winner receiving €3,000 of Plusvital nutritional supplement or genetic testing products on the final day of the series. In 2020, 27 trainers recorded wins at the venue. The company will also sponsor four races during the summer months.
Mike Shelly, CEO of Plusvital, said, “We are delighted to partner with Leopardstown Racecourse to support this new initiative for 2021. While recent times have been challenging for everyone, Irish trainers have continued to excel on the world stage and Plusvital are proud to be part of this Summer Championship that will recognise the success of these talented trainers.
We are also pleased to be able to support Leopardstown Racecourse at a tough time for all racecourses and sporting venues. Plusvital, in partnership with TMB, have provided a PCR based COVID testing service for the public at Leopardstown Racecourse since December and have carried out over 15,000 tests in that time. In our own small way, we hope we can continue to play our part in helping our community through the pandemic.”
