GAIN The Advantage Series 2024
Horse Racing Ireland and GAIN Equine are pleased to announce the continuation of the GAIN The Advantage Series in partnership with GAIN Equine Nutrition for its fourth consecutive year. The series consists of nine race meetings and nine separate racecourses.
This initiative, which addresses a key industry need, has garnered positive feedback from stakeholders. It underpins the crucial roles played by owners, trainers, breeders, and stable staff in the racing community.
Owner: The GAIN The Advantage Series has a variety of race conditions to cater for different trainers and horses throughout the season with an increase prize fund of 50% for each race in the series.
Trainer: Each trainer will receive points for their successes over the course of the series through a grading process, which is designed to give equal opportunity to all trainers to win the overall prize. The number of points per win or placing at each leg will be based on the number of winners the trainer recorded throughout 2024.
Stable Staff: The GAIN The Advantage Series intends to recognize all connections of the horse, including the hard-working stable staff, with a draw for one lucky groom to win a luxury night away at a fabulous hotel, announced during the finale at Naas Racecourse on September 19th.
Breeder: The breeder of the winning horse from each race will receive a framed photograph of the horse they bred, and they will be entered into a draw to win one tonne of GAIN Equine Nutrition products, announced during the finale at Naas Racecourse on September 19th.
This year there is a slight change to the series, Downroyal Racecourse will host the 6th leg of the series and Naas Racecourse will host the finale on September 19th.
