Limerick gets go-ahead, chase races in danger

Today’s hurdling and bumper action at Limerick has been given the go-ahead - but the two chase races are still in jeopardy.

Sub-zero overnight temperatures meant an 8am inspection was required, from which the outcome was generally positive.

The chase course, due to stage the final two heats of the day, remains a concern, however.

Irish Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: “The meeting goes ahead but the chase track is currently unraceable.

“The situation is being monitored.”
