Racehorse owners will have to wait a little longer to see their horses strut their stuff due to the Government's decision to delay phase four of the roadmap to reopen Ireland.

It had been hoped owners could return to the racetrack from next Monday but Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) have now confirmed that this will not now be possible.
