An replacement day’s racing will be held at Listowel on Sunday.
WITH Monday and Tuesday’s races in Listowel called off due to the weather conditions and its effect on the course, Horse Racing Ireland have announced a replacement meeting for this Sunday.
With seven races on the card, it will get underway at the early time of 12.15pm, so no doubt many punters will be ducking into the bars in between races to watch the Kerry games.
