SHELBOURNE FORCED TO POSTONE WITH TRACK WATERLOGGED

Ian Fortune

News has just come through that tonight’s card at Shelbourne Park has been postponed.

The rain over the past few days had already left the track very heavy and with the prospect of persistent rain for the remainder of the day, the decision has been forced upon the racing management to put back tonight’s card to next Saturday night.

Obviously, that will mean the Shelbourne schedule will have to move back a week with the Gold Cup now likely to start a week later than advertised.
