Sligo race meet abandoned

This evening's meeting at Sligo has been abandoned with an 8am inspection planned for tomorrow to determine prospects for that card.

Officials initially reported the track to be fit for action following an 8.30am check, but further heavy rain this morning coupled with an unfavourable forecast has forced them to call off today's fixture.

A Turf Club statement said: "The Turf Club has announced that the Sligo fixture scheduled for today has been abandoned due to further heavy rain and an unfavourable weather forecast for the remainder of the day.

"In addition there will be a further 8am course inspection to determine the prospects of racing at Sligo on Thursday."
