Paddy Power Politics
The Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase will take place for the very first time at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival, replacing the Novices’ Handicap Chase previously helD on the opening day of the meeting. The new contest, registered as The Liberthine Mares’ Chase, will take place on the final day of the Festival.
As of 2019, the number of mares in training has increased to 23%, an all-time high in addition to the number of individual runners and the median rating for mares. This follows efforts across the industry to bolster the mares’ programme, with the ultimate goal being for mares to comprise at least 25% of horses in training by 2024. Longer-term, the ambition is to increase that number to 30% by 2030.
History Of Paddy Powers
The registered race title honours Liberthine, the high-class mare owned by former Cheltenham racecourse chairman Robert Waley-Cohen. Liberthine landed the race known as the Mildmay Of Flete by seven lengths back in 2005 for Nicky Henderson under Waley-Cohen’s son Sam, while the mare later went on to land the Topham Chase in 2006 over the Grand National fences at Aintree.
How the Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase has been received:
Cheltenham clerk of the course Simon Claisse said: “We’re looking forward to being able to bring the Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase into the racing calendar. Not only is this a great example of the sport working together to boost the mares’ programme in Britain to benefit the industry, but we also now have an improved mares’ population providing quality competition.”
Racing TV ambassador Ruby Walsh is the leading all-time rider at the Cheltenham Festival and added: “The Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase will prove a great addition to the Festival, especially when it beds in over a three or four-year period. Jumps horses rarely have a financial value when they finish racing but, for owners who are lucky enough to have a good mare, they can be worth a considerable amount as brood mares.
Paddy Power Stock
“The need for mares-only races is paramount for the value of unraced fillies, to encourage owners to buy them as racehorses. Having the Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase to go along with the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle adds to the attraction of purchasing a filly. Cheltenham is showing its support to the breeding industry by adding this race and, in my opinion, showing a loyalty to the whole horse racing industry and not just the sport.”
Ruth Quinn, Director Of International Racing and Racing Development at the British Horseracing Authority, said: “The addition of a Grade Two Mares’ Chase at the Festival is another tangible, positive step in the efforts being made to encourage owners and trainers to continue to enhance the population of quality jumping mares.
“Having such a tempting target to aim for is sure to have a long-term impact on breeders, owners and trainers when it comes to thinking about buying a mare, or keeping a mare in training and campaigning her over fences.”
In 1988, Stewart Kenny, David Power and John Corcoran merged their bookmaker businesses (including a total of 40 betting shops) to found Paddy Power – which took the name of David Power’s son.
Since 1988, the bookmaker has made all the right moves, getting into the online betting market at just the right time, expanding aggressively into the UK and then globally, and being among the first to launch mobile gaming and betting apps.
In addition to its original online betting site, paddypower.com, Paddy Power now has separate online sites for games, casino, poker and bingo.
The company opened its first betting shop in the UK in 2002. Today it has more betting shops (a total of 250) in the UK than in Ireland. It has also expanded into Australia and Italy, and has entered into various partnerships in Europe, Canada, Belgium and Slovakia.
A sign that the bookmaker is more than meeting the challenge of “going mobile”, Paddy Power reports that about 45% of all its revenue from online betting and gaming is now from mobile devices.
