Horse racing is alive and well in Ireland. The Irish bookmaker BoyleSports has announced a glittering deal that will see it sponsoring Leopardstown Racecourse in Dublin, for a period of 3 years. Foremost among the attractions at Leopardstown Racecourse is the January Jumps Weekend. This entertaining contest kicks off on January 28th 2012, and BoyleSports is set to provide its punters with super-sized bonuses to the connections of any of the horses who win the ritzy Leopardstown double and the Cheltenham contest.
The sponsorship terms and conditions explicitly state that BoyleSports will be the biggest sponsor of the Grade-B Hurdle at Leopardstown racetrack. A single payout of some €100,000 will go to the winner of the contest if the said horse also competes in and wins the Cheltenham Festival hurdle competition. The icing on the cake is the range of generous bonuses being made available by BoyleSports to horseracing punters in the form of bonuses each year. A figure of €150,000 has been set aside for that purpose.
