Tattersalls Ireland are delighted to confirm sponsorship of the Grade 1 Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival in Leopardstown on Sunday 7th February. 

Last year’s renewal was won by A Wave Of The Sea who pounced late to secure victory in a dramatic race that saw Aspire Tower fall at the final flight. The Joseph O’Brien trained and JP McManus owned went on to win by a length and a quarter under Barry Geraghty. 

Run over 2miles and with a prize fund of €125,000, the race traditionally attracts a strong bunch of Ireland’s leading juveniles.
