Leopardstown  contingency plan  implemented

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.
