Suzanne Eade

Suzanne Eade is the Chief Executive of Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), an organization responsible for the governance and promotion of horse racing in Ireland. Eade has been instrumental in overseeing the development and implementation of regulatory frameworks that govern racing standards, including safety measures and facility requirements for racecourses. Her leadership comes at a time of significant change in the industry, particularly following the recent closure of Thurles racecourse, which raised questions about compliance with new standards and the financial burdens on smaller tracks.
