Clonmel race meet falls foul of Storm Jake

Tomorrow's race meeting at Clonmel has been called off due to a waterlogged track.

Officials had initially planned to inspect the course at 12pm today but following heavy showers this morning, the course is unraceable with little prospect of improvement.

Horse Racing Ireland tweeted: "Clonmel cancelled on Thursday, 3rd March. Parts of the course waterlogged and further rain forecast."

Earlier today, it was confirmed that the meeting scheduled for Downpatrick this afternoon has been cancelled after snow and rain hit the CoDown course.

An early-morning inspection was called due to an adverse weather forecast, and following 10 millimetres of snow and rain overnight the track was found to be unfit for racing.
