TODAY’S RESCHEDULED meeting at Killarney was cancelled after an inspection yesterday morning.
The meeting had been saved from last week but unfortunately persistent rain in the area has dashed any hopes of the card taking place.
“Killarney has been cancelled,” said Cliff Noone, press officer of the Turf Club.
“After the inspection this morning the course was waterlogged and unfit for racing.”
Tomorrow’s sprint races at Tipperary have been abandoned – with an 8am inspection called this morning to assess the prospects for the rest of the card.
Following an inspection on Tuesday, the sprint course was found to be waterlogged, which has led to the abandonment of the Listed Danehill Dancer Tipperary Stakes and the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Maiden.
The remainder of the course is currently raceable, with the going described as heavy.
Today’s meeting at Bellewstown is subject to the track passing a 7.30am precautionary inspection due to the threat of overnight rain.
Henry Cecil had his first victory at Southwell in five years yesterday when Mingun Bell landed the opener, the Novice Stakes.
