The Shillelagh & District point-to-point races at Fairwood Park, Tinahely, have been rescheduled to Saturday. The first race is at 12.30pm, with a total of 79 entries for the six race card.
The 48-hour preliminary inspection shows that the track is fit for racing. Going is ‘soft, yielding to soft in places’. 5-7mm of rain expected Thursday into Friday.
The fixture was planned for last Sunday, but low temperatures and freezing ground conditions made the track unfit for racing and the meeting was cancelled.
Racing goes ahead on Saturday and the original entries stand. A good day’s racing is planned, and the organisers are hoping to welcome a good Saturday crowd.
