Ruby Walsh: It feels more like a dark wet winter for Irish racing than a glorious summer

They say when it rains, it pours, but it feels more like a dark wet winter for Irish racing right now than a glorious summer.

Is the risk of being close to an infected person for any period of time not less at a racecourse? asks Ruby Walsh

I have little doubt that the eyes of racing fans will be focused on the Curragh this afternoon for the Juddmonte Irish Oaks, but lingering in the back of everyone’s mind will be the future.

There will be concerns about might appear in tomorrow’s Sunday newspapers regarding the usage of drugs in Irish racing and what Panorama will reveal on Monday night.
