We are delighted to announce that BoyleSports has teamed up with us as our Official Stable Partner. The bookmaker has also pledged to donate €100,000 to charity if Hewick is victorious in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, splitting the money between both the Irish Injured Jockeys (IIJ) and the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) in the UK to help both organisations continue the vital work they do for racing.
With just two weeks to go until the tape gets lifted at Cheltenham, BoyleSports has announced it is teaming up with us at Shark Hanlon Racing as our Official Stable Partner. The new multi-year partnership will see the bookmaker gain exclusive access to follow horse racing hero Hewick on his journey to the Cheltenham Gold Cup as well as a host of other big feature races throughout the 2024/2025 racing calendar.
The deal means BoyleSports and its customers will receive exclusive updates from our yard, while also getting behind Hewick’s journey towards racing immortality in March and beyond.
Costing just €850, our stable star Hewick will surpass €1,000,000 in prize money if victorious in the Festival’s blue riband event. With an American Grand National, Galway Plate, Sandown Gold Cup and King George already on his CV, Hewick is set to embark on another exciting journey in 2024 with a number of top races earmarked for the superstar staying chaser.

BoyleSports, a family-owned brand, is a great match for a stable like ours and we’re delighted to have them on board as the excitement builds towards what we hope will be a memorable Cheltenham Festival and beyond!”
Sharon McHugh, Head of Communications & Sponsorship, BoyleSports said: “In Shark Hanlon we are teaming up with one of horse racing’s great characters and it is a privilege to reward customers with exclusive access as one of his stable stars gets ready for the biggest stage. Hewick’s rags to riches story has set him apart as the people’s horse so we won’t be alone in cheering him on the road to Cheltenham glory, and hopefully there is another chapter to be written in his incredible story.”
This year will mark the 100th year of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and if Hewick’s meteoric rise through the racing ranks continues with victory in this race, BoyleSports will donate €100,000 to charity, splitting the money between both the Irish Injured Jockeys (IIJ) and the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF) in the UK to help both organisations continue the vital work they do for racing.
