Felix Yonger to deliver if jumping holds up

Ruby’s Best Bets

I usually keep my articles non-political and focus on the racing, but given that it’s a quiet weekend in terms of rides — and I will get to them — it’s an opportunity to add my voice to that of the majority of the racing community regarding the threat posed to our industry by the blight of wind farms and the proposed pylon lines to carry the power that they produce.

I was shocked to learn that the government has given the green light to an additional 200 new wind farms all over the country and that EirGrid are proposing to build another 1,000 km of high voltage overhead power lines on massive pylons to carry the power that they produce.
