Racing returns to Wexford Racecourse tomorrow (Friday) evening as part of the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann music festival and following on from Wednesday’s successful fixture.
It is a seven-race card – six hurdle races and an INH Mares Flat Race – with the first race off at 4.55pm.
Maximum entries for all races, the track is described as ‘good’ with selective watering in progress and there is a dry forecast.
Top trainers and jockeys will battle for the prizes and hopefully punters will fare well although the bookies deserve a profitable existence too as they are an integral part of the racing scene.
Speaking to WexfordLocal.com, Ursula Sinnott, Managing Director at Wexford Racecourse said; “We would like to welcome you to Wexford Racecourse and especially visitors attending Fleadh Cheoil nah Éireann this week for out two evening race meetings (the first took place on Wednesday and the second on Friday) this week. We hope you have a great racing experience at Wexford Racecourse this evening.
Plenty of parking on the course. However, traffic may be heavy on the roads heading for Wexford, so the message is to undertake the journey a bit earlier than normal. It should be noted that on Wednesday the track attracted enthusiastic racegoers, owners and trainers from as far away as Tyrone, Sligo, Down, Armagh, Fermanagh, Meath, Kildare, Cork, Tipperary and Limerick, and of course, our neighbouring counties of Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow and Wicklow.
