Strange one. Willie apparently told the owner Kopek is fine but not quite up to taking on Romeo at this stage, yet is going straight to Cheltenham without another run. Is it just a case of giving Kargese a chance of a big pot?

By:
I think most know predicting Willie is not very easy.

Well chief won an arkle with just one run over fences he also trained by a master.

By:
Bookies seemed to have been kept more up to date in recent weeks than Kopek's owners
|

By:
There's heavier rain than expected coming apparently.
Guessing Mullins as testing as the ground might be of course. But didn't see that Kopek one actually. |

Leaves Siog Gael as last one standing ....for now anyway ..

Bumper Saturday. No mullins runners. Elliott has 4. I'm still very doubtful this goes ahead as planned. Bucketing down again.

Raining last hour and expected to be the same for the rest of the day and night. Helps though that there's a strong breeze with it. They'll probably do a similar job tomorrow as they did already clearing the water, if needed. |

Thanks for the updates mjk

Saturday officially sold out. Still tickets available for Sunday.

Just seen that Monday is a bank holiday, St Brigids day, so could put the Saturday card back til then if the Sunday is raceable?

On Wednesday's Nick Luck pod the Leopardstown track chief Peter Roe was practically saying that everythings drained away and there'll be no problems, no caveat, no note of caution whatsover.

Yes Duffy, COC did a video on Twitter yesterday at the track's lowest point, visually looked fine... not sure if this link will be visible?

"It's a million to be on". Aceform has told us …… |

By:
Being a racing fan i sincerely hope it is on for all concerned.

By:
Currently clear blue sky but yellow rain warning between midday and midnight
|
|
By:
There doesn’t really seem much end to the rain so even a Sunday Monday fixture might struggle
|

By:
And,how much have you Layed it for,Aceform?
F/A |

Tongue-in-cheek Iron……
There are people on planet earth who don’t mind a bit of banter…..still looking like 50/50…. Good luck to the chosen who have planned for the meeting….. |

By:
Much as I hope it is on I am not a fan of horses running in a Bog
|

By:
I never thought this would go ahead at the weekend. Or rather it SHOULDN'T. Its barely rateable at best and should be called off. But greed plays a big part. What state are these horses going to be in at the finish line? Even the winners. They will be staggering over it.

Dreadful thing in life slickster i agree….
Hospitality and feed the fodder……cash driven … |

is it in cork? |

By:
After the deluge early this morning its been dry and breezy since. Another deluge expected this evening though. Hopefully theyre wrong...
|
|
By:
Track currently raceable so its down to what tonight brings weather wise
|
|
By:
The problem that exists now though is that what is the point of the meeting going ahead even if it is "raceable" if there are a stack of non runners and it ends up being a damp squib...no pun intended
