Mr. Mark Flanagan:

There is a big meeting in France next Saturday and Sunday week. We are sending over our leading apprentice to race in Vincennes on Saturday week. There will be €3 million in prize money on those two days. Ireland has been invited as one of 18 countries. Le Trot has invited the Minister to attend on those days. The French Ministers for finance and agriculture will be there. It is a very high profile international meeting.
