Tote Ireland announce changes

TOTE Ireland have announced a number of changes to their jackpot bet, with the unit stake to be reduced from one euro to 50 cents and future carryovers will rollover to the next day’s meeting rather than remaining at the original track.

The new measures commence at Leopardstown’s Hennessy meeting on February 8 where there will be a jackpot guarantee of €50,000, with an additional bonus of the same amount for an outright winner.

lWetherby have called a precautionary inspection for 7.30 this morning ahead of their afternoon meeting.

A frost is forecast at the Yorkshire track overnight and although they are fit to race today, chief executive Tim Betteridge said: “It’s a bright, clear, sunny day today but we have announced a precautionary inspection.”
