The popularity of the Wexford races is expanding within the industry and for the second meeting in succession the entry has been above average, thus necessitating an eight-race card and that takes place tomorrow (Friday) with the first race off at 3.20pm.
The track is in excellent condition with the going expected to be ‘yielding’ and following 28mm of rain yesterday (Wednesday) there is a mainly dry forecast with passing showers (3mm approx.) which is the latest update tonight thanks to Horse Racing Ireland.
The card consists of four hurdle races and three steeplechases and due to the large entry the visitwexford.ie handicap hurdle will be run in two divisions providing an 8-race card instead of the standard 7-race card.
Top trainers and jockeys will be in action, plenty of local trainers have entries and some local jockeys have good rides, this is the end of summer racing at the track and it would be great if the celebrations concluded with a large attendance to witness top class jump racing.
