Jockeys’ ground complaints

THE jockeys were none too happy with the state of the ground on the hurdle track at Cork last night.

A deputation, consisting of Davy Russell, Barry Geraghty, Shay Barry and Martin Ferris, complained to the stewards.

They felt their was a lack of sufficient effort to produce safe fast ground, without any jar, and, in their opinion, most of the track was hard. They stated that the surface should not have been a problem, with a river close by.
