Fairyhouse to sponsor Nina Fairyhouse are taking a novel approach to advertising this season by sponsoring top amateur rider Nina Carberry. Carberry, who has enjoyed many big race successes including at the Cheltenham Festival, recorded the "highlight" of her career todate when partnering Organisedconfusion to land the Ladbrokes Irish Grand National at the Co. Meath track back in April. The 12-month deal will see her wearing Fairyhouse branded racing clothes in both Ireland and the UK, and she will also work with the racecourse to promote race meetings throughout the year. Fairyhouse General Manager Peter Roe welcomed the news saying, “We are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Nina Carberry. Nina has always been a supporter of Fairyhouse and is a wonderful ambassador for racing. "She is a well-known figure in the world of sport and is really enthusiastic about her association with her local racecourse. Nina will be involved in our marketing and PR campaigns including social networking, helping to promote our feature meetings starting with our Premier Jump Racing Weekend on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th December. "We have also commissioned a cartoon caricature of Nina which hopefully will appeal to the younger audience and help attract some new fans to the sport.” Nina Carberry commented, “I am honoured to be sponsored by Fairyhouse Racecourse as I have been coming to the track since I was a child. It is my local track and the scene of many happy celebrations for me and my family. "Winning the Ladbrokes Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse last April was the highlight of my career. This is a fantastic sponsorship and I am really looking forward to working with the team at Fairyhouse to promote the racecourse and their top-class race meetings.”
