Prior to racing at Leopardstown Racecourse on May 19th, over 60 women attended the WINR Summer Showcase on the top floor Penthouse which overlooks the track. Following a Welcome Lunch Meet & Greet, MC Amii McKeever from the Irish Farmer’s Journal opened the showcase. Amii facilitated a fantastic conversation on Racehorse Ownership with an expert panel of Amber O’Grady (HRI), Jodi O’Donoghue (Syndicate Manager) and Kate Hardy (MyRacehorse). The panellists provided valuable insights regarding ownership from sole ownership to syndicates and microshares. Next on the agenda was the 2023 Mentoring Programme Panel Launch with panellists and mentors Laura Magee, Fiona Dowling and WINR Chair Clodagh Kavanagh.

The WINR AGM was held, where new committee members Leona Hughes and Orla Donworth were elected as well as Lucy Blake who takes up the office of secretary. Following the AGM, guests received Treo Eile goodie bags and a tour of the renowned racetrack with Katie Walsh and Jane Hedley. To conclude a fantastic evening of networking and racing, the WINR Ladies Handicap was won by 7lb claiming jockey Amy Jo Hayes on Burren Song.
