Fog scuppers Dundalk

HEAVY fog forced the abandonment of the floodlit meeting at Dundalk last evening without a race being run.

With visibility poor in the home straight in particular, officials took the decision to delay the first race to give the fixture a chance of going ahead.

The runners were down at the start for the 6.45pm contest but the riders returned to the weighing room soon after. A further inspection was carried out at around 7.45pm with the decision then taken to abandon.
