Turf Club clearly has lessons to learn from Volume farce

The Irish Oaks at the Curragh last Saturday, or at least the delay in getting the race away, was a bit of a farce.

Matt Chapman, on ATR, is given to saying “we love our Irish racing” and yes we do.

But, by the time the horses had left the gate for the Oaks, a full 21 minutes after the off time, we had almost lost the will to live.
