Closing down the industry for six days is ridiculous

It has not been a particularly good few days for National Hunt racing in this country.

You could say it began with a card at Navan last Sunday that developed into a bit of a farce, and continued all week with no racing whatsoever.

Sunday has long become the showcase for Irish racing, but Navan was a real turn off and you certainly wouldn’t want to see many more programmes like that going forward.
