The Curragh has announced that QuinnBet is to become the Betting Partner of the Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival taking place from 24th to 26th May.

The Tattersalls Irish Guineas Festival is one of the most prestigious weekends in the racing calendar. The top-class programme takes place over three days, the Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas being the main feature on Saturday. On Sunday, the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas and Tattersalls Gold Cup take centre stage with both races set to gain increased international exposure as part of the Tote World Pool for the first time.

The festival will offer record prize money of just over €2.4 million, ensuring the best horses compete throughout the weekend.
