Racing at Punchestown gets the green light

As was done yesterday, officials checked conditions at 8am ahead of the fourth day of the Festival meeting.

TODAY’S CARD AT a very wet Punchestown has been given the go-ahead this morning after the track passed a precautionary inspection.

Course officials checked conditions at 8am ahead of the fourth day of the festival meeting.

And though the conditions remain heavy, it’s fit for racing, they said in a statement.

The five-race card gets underway at 4.55pm with Hurricane Fly the star attraction in the  Champion Hurdle, one of three Grade One events on the card.

Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend
