Fog forces Lexus switch

The Lexus Chase has been rescheduled for tomorrow after fog caused the Leopardstown card to be abandoned after four races.

The Lexus Chase has been rescheduled for tomorrow after fog caused the Leopardstown card to be abandoned after four races.

The Grade One feature was set to go off at 2.35pm but thick fog enveloped the track shortly before the start, forcing officials to delay the race until 3.20pm.

However, conditions did not improve sufficiently to race and the feature event has been switched to Tuesday’s card and will be run as the fourth race.

The final two events scheduled for today’s card have been cancelled and will not be added to tomorrow’s fixture, which will now start 30 minutes earlier than planned.
