The Magners July Race Evening had race goers descending on Down Royal Racecourse in their droves. The longer hours of daylight in summer provide the perfect opportunity to socialize with friends while enjoying a refreshingly chilled Magners Original Irish Cider and racing late into the evening.
While some came along after work, others had clearly taken the day off to don their best summer outfits for the occasion which delivered seven exhilarating races for all to enjoy.
The brand took the opportunity to let hospitality guests sample new Magners Forbidden Flavours of Strawberry & Lime and Cloudy Lemon; delivering a totally new cider taste experience the natural way, with the edgy attitude that you’d expect from Magners.
On the track, Chris Hayes rode Annagh Haven to victory in the Magners Irish Cider Fillies Handicap at Down Royal. Meanwhile Joseph O’Brien rode to victory on Order of St George in the feature race, Her Majesty’s Plate, completing a third win of the race for trainer Aidan O’Brien, in recent years.
