Soft Summer weather provided a balmy backdrop to the July Magners Race Evening at Down Royal, with the long hours of daylight providing the perfect opportunity for racegoers to enjoy an extended day of sport and to socialize with friends with a Magners Original Irish Cider over ice.
The mood was almost as chilled as the Magners, with many race fans making a thank-goodness-it’s Friday dash for Down Royal after work while others, took it easy from the outset as everyone settled down to enjoy an exciting evening of racing, featuring seven exhilarating races.
The brand took the opportunity to showcase to its VIP guests Magners Forbidden Flavours in Strawberry & Lime and Cloudy Lemon, each delivering a totally new and natural cider taste experience, but with the edgy attitude that we’ve all come to expect from Magners.
On the track, Robbie Downey rode Noble Dance to victory in the Magners Irish Cider Fillies Handicap at Down Royal. Meanwhile Kevin Manning won Her Majesty’s Plate, the evening’s feature race, on Stellar Mass that also won this year’s Magners Derby at Down Royal.’
