And the deserving winner will also get the use of a BMW for a week.
Naas Racecourse is giving away the mother of all staycation prizes, and the best part is it'll be going to someone who truly deserves it.
To coincide with the €320,000 Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes, the racecourse is asking people to nominate their 'lockdown heroes', each of whom will all then have their own unique stake in the race.
A total of 20 lockdown heroes will be chosen, and each them will be given a horse in the race.
Whichever hero's horse wins the stakes, also wins the amazing prize - simple as that.
Here's what the winning lockdown hero can expect to receive:
- A four-night luxury break for two adults and two children at the Heritage, Killenard in County Laois
- The use of luxury car from Colm Quinn BMW for a week
- And €2,000 spending money
Now that is a prize befitting a hero.
There will also be prizes for the heros whose horses are placed in the race from the Osprey Hotel, O’Callaghan Hotel Collection, Weatherbys GSB and the Irish National Stud, and luxury goody bags for the remaining lockdown heroes.
How do you nominate?
Your lockdown hero could be your neighbour who went above and beyond while you were cocooning.
Your GP, community care workers or volunteers who worked tirelessly.
It could be your children’s teacher, your local shopkeeper, postman or postwoman or refuse collector. Your chemist, childminder or a relative or friend who is working as a nurse, doctor, or medical professional on the frontline.
To nominate, simply go to naasracecourse.com and include a brief description of their heroic actions and any relevant information before noon on Wednesday August 19th.
The 20 lockdown heroes will be announced on Friday August 21st, with the Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes taking place on Sunday August 23rd.
