This has been a challenging year for everyone but by buying an Irish Injured Jockeys calendar or Christmas cards, you will make a big difference to the support programmes we have in place for my weigh-room colleagues.

“Huge thanks go to Peter Curling and the racing photographers who have kindly donated artwork and 12 stunning photographs which illustrate our wonderful sport so beautifully – I’m still struggling to pick my favourite. Thanks also to our charity partner TRI equestrian for their help with sales distribution.

“May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Christmas and a memorable, safe year of racing for us all in 2021 – especially to our fantastic supporters and patrons.”
