Saturday is expected to be dry, warm and sunny; suitable for a family day out at the Wexford races.
The first of seven races is off at 2.25pm and the card consists of four hurdle races, two steeplechases and an amateur flat race to finish the day.
Watering has been ongoing throughout the week, and by Saturday, conditions should be described as ‘good’ and safe.
All the top Wexford jockeys will be in action including Tiernan Power-Roche, Conor Stone-Walsh, Sean O’Keeffe and JJ Slevin and amateur riders Rob James, Luke Murphy and Bertie Finn.
Local trainers have entries, including Colm Murphy, Philip Rothwell, Paul Nolan, Richie Rath, Liz Doyle and Sean Doyle.
And the champions of the jump racing game will also be sending their runners to Bettyville Park including the record-breaking Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Gavin Cromwell and Henry de Bromhead.
