Paddy Power & Deirdre O'Kane tackle discrimination against white trainers

Paddy Power and Deirdre O'Kane are main sponsors of racing at today's Punchestown Festival. They are taking a stand against discrimination against trainers at horse racing meetings.

They erected a sign at Punchystown's entrance which read: "All trainers welcome".
