Racing:Racing scheduled for tomorrow evening at Sligo has been cancelled due to a waterlogged track. Persistent rain in the area has left officials with no choice but to admit defeat.
Irish Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone said: "Parts of the course are waterlogged. They had really heavy rain yesterday and though it eased the damage had been done. It's bright and dry today but more rain is forecast later."
Meanwhile, Killarney officials will inspect at 7.30am tomorrow morning to determine whether racing can take place on Wednesday.
The Kerry course raced last Wednesday and Friday but Thursday’s card was abandoned due to waterlogging.
The ground is currently soft, soft to heavy in places on the hurdle track. It is, however, heavy with unraceable patches on the chase track — and more rain is also expected.
A racecourse spokesman said: “They are taking a look at the ground tomorrow morning. We are currently soft to heavy.”
