Bluegrass Horse Feed proudly announces the continuation of the ‘Best Turned Out League’ this year, following its successful launch in February 2025. Kicking off the year, Bluegrass and Down Royal Racecourse visited Gordon Elliott’s yard to present a cheque for £2,000, awarded as prize money for winning the league in its inaugural year.
Craig Kileff from Bluegrass stated, “At Bluegrass, our focus is always on enhancing the well-being, nutrition, and performance of the horse. Behind every great racehorse is a dedicated team of grooms who ensure they look and feel their best. The ‘Best Turned Out League’ is our way of recognizing and rewarding their hard work. Well done to all at Cullentra!”
Susan McCartney, Head of Racing Operations at Down Royal Racecourse, shared her enthusiasm: “We’re delighted to continue our relationship with Bluegrass Horse Feed and the Best Turned Out League, a brand that shares our passion for equine welfare and racing excellence. Gordon Elliotts runners are always turned out to the highest standard and are a credit to the whole team at Cullentra. We are thrilled to collaborate with Bluegrass to reward all their hard work and effort “.
Entering its second year, the Best Turned Out League reinforces Bluegrass’s commitment to the racing industry and its partnership with Down Royal, highlighting the dedication to both equine excellence and the behind-the-scenes professionals who support it.
