Thurles cancelled as track pays its respects to Michael O'Sullivan

Wednesday's scheduled meeting at Punchestown has been put back to Friday, with the Cork jockey's funeral taking place at 12pm.

RIP: Jockey Michael O'Sullivan after winning the EMS Copiers Novice Handicap Chase on Hgranca De Thaix during day four of the Punchestown Festival last year. 

Thursday's meeting at Thurles has been cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of Cheltenham Festival-winning rider Michael O'Sullivan on Sunday.

O'Sullivan, 24, was injured in a fall at the track on February 6 and had remained in the intensive care unit of Cork University Hospital since.
