Thursday's Tipperary racing at Ballykisteen postponed

Thursday's racing at Tipperary has been postponed following an inspection of the Ballykisteen venue on Monday.

Paddy Graffin, IHRB clerk of the course at Tipperary, said, "Our Flat track at Tipperary has been unfit for racing since entries for Thursday's fixture opened up last week.

"We were keen to give this fixture every opportunity, especially with the change in the weather over the weekend, but despite some small improvement in recent days it just wasn’t sufficient enough to get us to where we needed to be in time for Thursday.

"There has been some drying on the National Hunt track and we will have no problems there on Tuesday but the Flat track is still saturated in some areas and remains unfit for racing.

"On that basis we must cancel Thursday’s fixture and Tipperary Racecourse are working with Horse Racing Ireland to reschedule."
