Jumps meeting cancelled at Thurles due to waterlogged track

Thurles’ jumps meeting next Monday has been cancelled due to a waterlogged track.

With parts of the course unraceable, the situation has been exacerbated by the prospect of further rainfall at the County Tipperary circuit.

The feature race was the Thurles Racecourse Supporters Club Steeplechase, a Listed affair over two and a quarter miles.

Horse Racing Ireland announced the meeting will be rescheduled for Friday, January 8.

The fixture will close for fresh entries by 12 noon on January 4th, with declarations to run to be made by 10am on January 7th. The same programme of races will be used and trainers are reminded that entries already made must be repeated.

The time of the first race will be 12.50pm.
