The Irish Field is an Irish bloodstock, racing and sport horse publication. Established in 1870 and originally known as the Irish Sportsman and Farmer,[1] it was published by The Irish Times from the 1930s until 2003.[2] The publication was acquired by The Agricultural Trust, owners of the Irish Farmers Journal, in July 2003.[2][3]

Publication

The newspaper is published every Saturday, and includes racing, bloodstock and sport horse news, interviews, horse management advice, pedigree analysis, racecards and classified advertising.[4]

A directory is usually published by The Irish Field in December each year, and includes contacts for trainers, jockeys, racecourses, equestrian organisations and clubs.[citation needed]
