Locals race to the rescue as festival gets back on track

RACING at Tramore was back on track again last night after a disappointing start on Thursday to the four-day festival at the top Waterford venue.

Locals, disappointed the first day of the meeting was abandoned because of slippery conditions, turned out in their droves from 7am yesterday to offer their help.

They were back again just after 5pm and rallied along with visitors to the region and racing fans from across the country to make up for the disappointment of the previous evening.
