Worldwide success for RED MILLS customers

The last week has seen an incredible amount of racing action from around the world with some great results for RED MILLS customers.

We were delighted to be able to play our part in making sure feed landed on time for these horses at venues around the world and that their diet remained consistent. Horses are resilient and most are accustomed to the travel but to maintain good health and performance it is essential that their nutritional needs are looked after.

Our unique Nutrient Fresh Management System packaging means that the feed also travels well and when opened by our customer all over the world, it is as fresh as the day it was made in Goresbridge.

Melbourne Cup

The action kicked off last Tuesday with the world famous Melbourne Cup where Joseph O’Brien won it for the second time with Twilight Payment.

All eyes then switched to Keeneland in Kentucky for the 2020 Breeders Cup.

Glass Slippers gave Europe a first ever victory in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint when striking for Kevin Ryan. Ryan’s only other Breeders’ Cup runner, East, was second to Newspaperofrecord in the Juvenile Fillies’ Turf in 2018.

Tarnawa then completed a memorable day at the races for European stables, as Colin Keane brought the Dermot Weld filly with a perfectly timed run to win the Breeders’ Cup Turf. Tarnawa had recently won the Group One Prix Vermeille at Longchamp and victory gave trainer Dermot Weld a first Breeders’ Cup victory in his 17th start.
