Ex-Irish tackle all-weather The cold snap has starved racing of its turf fixtures, and while Irish racing fans have to wait for Dundalk's weekend meetings, there are quite a few ex-Irish horses in action on the all-weather at both Lingfield and Wolverhampton today. At Lingfield, where Henry Cecil is represented with one runner, the ex-Kevin Prendergast trained Humor Me Rene races in the Toteexacta Flexi Betting Handicap, for new trainer George Baker. Humor Me Rene, twice a winner in Ireland this year, was successful on her first run for Baker at Wolverhampton 15 days ago. Elsewhere at Wolverhampton today, the Vote For Tony McCoy Maiden Auction Stakes has obvious racing interest as the final vote for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award in its final stages. The ex-Ger Lyons trained Cheveyo bids to shed his maiden tag in the opening event while, in the Sponsor A Race By Calling 01902 390000 Classified Claiming Stakes, readers may well remember the ex-Michael Halford trained The Lock Master and ex-David Wachman trainer Pinsplitter in action in Ireland.
