Mullins, Weld and Harrington among expert panel for the ITBA's 'The Importance of Fillies in Breeding & Racing' seminar
The Irish Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association and a panel of industry experts will be at the Curragh on Sunday, July 21 for the ITBA Seminar.
A stellar panel of Pat Downes, Jessica Harrington, Willie Mullins and Dermot Weld have been secured for what promises to be an afternoon of discussion and lively debate, hosted by Leo Powell.

In addition, the event will provide breeders and attendees with the opportunity to engage directly with industry stakeholders throughout the day.
Doors will open at 11:30am and the seminar will commence at midday sharp. The ITBA encourages attendees to arrive early to avail of this networking opportunity.
The first race, following the seminar, is due off at 2pm, with the card featuring three Group races led by the Group 2 Romanised Minstrel Stakes.
