Fairyhouse update: Saturday card rescheduled for Tuesday

The meeting due to be held at Fairyhouse today, but abandoned because of waterlogging, will now take place on Tuesday.

Saturday’s action was cancelled because of surface water lying in areas of the course but the seven-race card has now been added to the action scheduled to take place at Fairyhouse on Sunday and Monday.

Instead if being the first day of the three-day Festival, it will become the last.

Original entries will stand while The Rybo Handicap Hurdle (Listed Race) reverts to after final forfeit stage and fresh declarations to run for all races must be made by 10am on Sunday. 

Sunday’s card at Fairyhouse is subject to a 7.30am inspection. Fairyhouse's general manager Peter Roe says he is "as confident as I can be" that it will go ahead.

The going is described as soft to heavy but it’s the standing water, after 21mm overnight, that has given the track a headache.
