Leopardstown’s Sunday card has been rearranged for next Friday (March 9th) after Horse Racing Ireland acted to save the fixtures lost to the weather in recent days.
The card, which was due to feature the €50,000 TRI Equestrian Handicap Chase, was called off on Thursday due to snow but has now been rescheduled, with entries to close on Monday.
However, Monday’s card at the track, which signalled the end the jumps season there, has not been rearranged.
Three races from the fixture have been saved with the two-mile-one-furlong novice chase and the two-mile-five-furlong beginners chase added to Leopardstown’s March 9th card.
The two-mile Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle will now be held at Naas on March 11th and will close for entries along with the rest of the Naas meeting on March 6th.
