Leopardstown contingency plan implemented

IT is hoped that Leopardstown will finally start next Tuesday, December 28, following the cancellation of Monday’s card yesterday.

The track continues to be covered in snow and, of course, the St Stephen’s Day card was cancelled on Wednesday.

Tuesday - the meeting is subject to an inspection on Monday - will house its original schedule, but Horse Racing Ireland’s first contingency plan will now come into effect and there will be a revised programme for Wednesday. Entries will stand and declarations to run will have to be made by 10am on Tuesday.
