Clonmel Tommorrow

[trackside528]

Looks a decent card on the whole, with the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase the feature event, with Glenfinn Captain looking a worthy favourite.

The other striking feature of the card seems to be the rather unusual paucity of runners in the 2m4f handicap chase and the 3m handicap hurdle (in which I am very interested in Dashing George).

I will be very disappointed if Fionnegas doesn't hack-up in the 20f novice hurdle.

 

[trackside528]

Will you be playing odds on, Grassy?

 

[Grasshopper]

With Sleiveardagh in there, I'm rather hoping that's a decision I won't need to make, tracks.

I would be really surprised if the meeting gets to go ahead given the forecast.

Cancelled this morning at 8.30 due to a waterloged track. Early reports suggest it will now be rescheduled for next Wednesday.

 

[Gearoid]

It may not stop raining by next Wednesday.

Must be big doubts about Punchestown as well this weekend....desperate weather.

 

[trackside528]

Should have just moved the card to Thurles...

 

[Gearoid]

Thats not that ridiculous an idea! This time of year is very frustrating, Clonmel being off makes the may a non event.

 

[del boy]

Run them all in Dundalk..

 

[Gearoid]

Cork have already called an inspection for the weekend.

When was the last time racing was off at Clonmel BTW? The course is on the side of a bloody hill.

 

[Kauto Abu]

I can see Cork falling to the weather also. There has been some fairly serious flash flooding in the county over the last few days!

The 2.05 should be a decent race.

Read something in the irish independent which said it has never been off I'd well believe it

They were finishing VERY tired.

Hairy Molly took an awful looking fall through tiredness two out, thankfully he got up.
