Racing: This afternoon's meeting at Thurles has been given the go-ahead after a successful early-morning inspection.
Course officials brought forward their proposed 8am assessment of the track after a forecast deluge of rain failed to materialise.
Irish Turf Club press officer, Cliff Noone, said: "They had around five millimetres of rain last night which was not a problem.
"There's also a strong wind, which has helped the situation. The inspection was brought forward and the meeting goes ahead."
