United Irish Racecourses follow through on threat to reject new media rights deal via IrishTimesSport
after Tuesday’s vote. Dundalk officials, reportedly in disagreement with HRI recently over fixture charges, eventually rowed in behind the new deal as did two other unnamed courses who’d had concerns.
Asked on Tuesday if the UIR tracks could continue to be members of AIR, the racecourse body’s chief executive, Paul Hensey, said: “I don’t know. It’s not for me to answer that, or what way the AIR board are thinking yet. Time will tell how that works out. It’s something for another day.” “It’s something we’re going to have to work out. It is fixture based; it’s not a percentage per racetrack. It is based on performance.
“It won’t be a negative effect for the 21 tracks that have signed. If anything, I think they will possibly get an upturn in their dividends,” he said.
