Leopardstown gets the green light
This afternoon’s fixture at Leopardstown will go ahead as scheduled, in spite of heavy overnight rain.
Officials at the Dublin circuit were on red alert after a forecast for stormy conditions heading into the morning.
And while another 14 millimetres of rainfall has turned the ground soft, the high-class card has been given the go-ahead.
Horse Racing Ireland tweeted: “Leopardstown to proceed today as planned, ground now soft following 14mm rain overnight.
