Heavy rain on Friday soaked the south-east and following this afternoon’s precautionary inspection of the course at Wexford at 4 pm, the track was found to be waterlogged in places and currently unfit for racing.
However, due to a dry forecast for the remainder of today and tomorrow it has been decided to inspect the course again at 8 am on Sunday morning to determine if racing can take place.
There are 78 entries for the all-jumping card at Bettyville Park on Sunday and the first race will be off at 12.50 am. Racing is also scheduled to take place again on Bank Holiday Monday.
The card is as follows; 12.50 pm; CASEY CONCRETE BLOCKS MAIDEN HURDLE, 2 miles 4 furlongs (17 runners). 1.25 pm; CASEY TARMACADAM MARES HURDLE, 2 miles 4 furlongs (5 runners). 2 pm; CASEY CATTLE SLATS MAIDEN HURDLE, 2 miles, 150 yards (9 runners). 2.35 pm; CASEY CONCRETE GOREY HANDICAP HURDLE, 3 miles (16 runners). 3.10 pm; CASEY BROTHERS SUPPORTING THEIR LOCAL RACECOURSE BEGINNERS CHASE, 2 miles 4 furlongs, (13 runners). 3.45 pm: CASEY PRECAST HANDICAP CHASE, 2 miles 4 furlongs, (9 runners). 4.20 pm; IRISH STALLION FARM EBF MARES (PRO/AM) FLAT RACE, 2 miles (9 runners).
