Tramore beats the elements

This afternoon’s meeting at Tramore received the go-ahead after a 7.30am inspection.

Although sleet and rain had given cause for concern, officials at the Irish track were content with the state of the ground.

Irish Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: “There was rain overnight, but they didn’t get that much so the meeting goes ahead.”

The going is heavy, with racing due to commence at 12.35pm.
