Ground worries forces Clonmel abandonment after three races

RACING at Clonmel yesterday was abandoned after the third race, the second division of the Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Maiden Hurdle, in the interests of safety.

The ground had simply become dangerous and the stewards were left with no option but to call the meeting off.

Rest My Case slipped up approaching the fifth flight, bringing down two others, and then The Adare Man broke a knee on the downhill run to the straight when in front.
