Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Systems, Governance and Procedures in Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Jason Morris:
It is the same. There is a slight tiering but it is not majorly significant. Grade one tracks receive slightly more than grade two and grade three tracks but overall the standard payment per race is the same for every race whether it is run at Leopardstown, Sligo or Ballinrobe. There is an element within the media rights structure that is differentiated by tier of racetrack but it is only a relatively small element within the total sum.
