Meade delays Harchibald run

NOEL MEADE has decided against running Harchibald at Dundalk tomorrow night, but he could line up at the track next week instead.

The four-time Grade One-winning hurdler has used the artificial surface a number of times to blow away the cobwebs for more important timber assignments and he ran eighth in a decent event at the track last month.

Meade feels tonight’s Carlingford Stakes is slightly too competitive and believes a race on next Friday’s card would be more to Harchibald’s liking.
