Rathasker To Sponsor Phoenix Sprint

The Burns family's Rathasker Stud has taken over sponsorship of the G3 Phoenix Sprint S., to be run over six furlongs at The Curragh on Aug. 9.

Maurice Burns said, “We are delighted to announce our new sponsorship at The Curragh; the G3 Rathasker Stud Phoenix Sprint S. of €65,000 over six furlongs. Our family have a previous history with the race in that my father Paddy's good Ahonoora filly Park Dream won the Phoenix Sprint in 1992. There is also a nice progression for sprinters after this race as the winner gains a free entry into the G1 Flying Five S. on Irish Champions Weekend.”
