Social Pictures: Boodles celebrates its new partnership with Punchestown Festival

Back in February, Punchestown racecourse announced a new three-year sponsorship of the Grade 1 Boodles Champion Hurdle at the renowned Punchestown Festival, marking a significant partnership within the realm of Irish racing.

The feature race of Boodles Day, Friday, May 3, is the prestigious Grade 1 €300,000 Boodles Champion Hurdle. The 2024 Boodles Champion Hurdle has the potential to be the race of the season should reigning champion hurdler, Constitution Hill make the journey across the sea to take on Irish favourite and current Punchestown festival Champion, State Man on home turf. The pair will hopefully meet once again at Cheltenham in less than two weeks should Constitution Hill return to full fitness ahead of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

On Monday, March 25, this partnership was celebrated in style, with esteemed guests including Irish jockey Rachael Blackmore, and the Festival Style Council, Jess Colivet, Marietta Doran, Roxanne Parker, Lawson Mpame and David O’Connor, symbolising the fusion of excellence in sport and luxury.

The newly named Boodles Champion Hurdle takes place on Friday, May 3 at Punchestown and the Boodles Bar will be the sparkliest place to have a glass of champagne during the festival!
