Hector to lift Déise spirits at race fest

HECTOR Ó HEOCHAGÁIN hopes to dispel Waterford’s blues over the next few days.

The TV presenter is doing his bit to lift the county after the hurlers’ defeat at the hands of Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final.

An estimated 25,000 visitors are expected to descend on the Waterford and Tramore Racecourse for the August Racing Festival, over four days until Sunday.
