Rain claims most of the weekend jumps action

WET weather has claimed six of this weekend’s race meetings, leaving Fontwell to stage the only National Hunt fixture in Britain or Ireland today.

Horse Racing Ireland moved quickly to announced six replacement fixtures to compensate for the meetings lost through the recent spell of bad weather.

The card at Navan which was initially scheduled for Sunday will now be held next Saturday while Flat cards will be held at Limerick on April 12 and May 13 with a jumps meeting on May 14.
