This evening Killarney moves on to the second stage of it's May festival (5.05 start) and there's fresh ground on the hurdle track with a rail movement of six yards for a going description of good (National Hunt).

The going description for the Flat is good to firm, good in places. That track was watered last night.

With dry and breezy conditions the National Hunt tracks are being watered this morning.
