Irish derby race time 7:40

I suppose you could give them some credit for experimenting but they seem to have forgotten why the main race was always in the middle of the programme.

Seems to have worked well at Punchestown & Fairyhouse

Main event kicks off at 8pm anyway - Ronan Keating concert!

The last races in Punchestown and Fairyhouse were the bumpers never the main races.

Apologies, you are of course correct.

I was thinking along the lines of starting the meetings later than usual as opposed to having the main race last when I posted.

Ground will be chewed up by then,excellent idea.
