Fairyhouse to inspect again

Officials at Fairyhouse will take another look at 8am ahead of tomorrow’s meeting after the course remained unfit for racing on Friday.

Members of the Turf Club took a look at the frost-hit surface on Friday afternoon but Peter Roe, racecourse manager of the County Meath track, said all is not lost yet ahead of the seven-race card.

“It was very frustrating but basically the temperature did not get to what we expected,” Roe said.

“We’ll have a look in the morning and we did not want to pull it tonight as the temperatures are due to rise.

“We are looking at it rising to 5C at around midnight with some rain, which should definitely help.

“If the forecast is right, we will be able to race.”
