GAIN The Advantage Series 2023

GAIN The Advantage Series will increase from eight to nine fixtures from April to October 2023, with a race aimed solely for horses who are owned by Syndicates or Racing Clubs at Tramore Racecourse being a new addition to the series.

There is a 50% increase in the total prize fund for each race in the series.

Trainers, Owners, Stable Staff & Breeders recognised throughout series.

The GAIN The Advantage Series has a variety of race conditions to cater for different trainers and horses throughout the season with an increase prize fund of 50% for each race in the series.

Each trainer will receive points for their successes over the course of the series through a grading process, which is designed to give equal opportunity to all trainers to win the overall prize. The number of points per win or placing at each leg will be based on the number of winners the trainer recorded throughout 2023.

The GAIN The Advantage Series intends to recognise all connections of the horse, including the hard-working stable staff, with a draw for one lucky groom to win a luxury weekend away at Lyrath Estate Hotel. The breeder of the winning horse from each race will receive a framed photograph of the horse they bred, and they will be entered into a draw to win one tonne of GAIN Equine Nutrition products.
