This evening’s meeting at Dundalk will be delayed by an hour due to significant delays to those travelling on the M1 towards Dundalk.

The eight-race card was due to start at 4.30 but the first race will now get underway at 5.30.

A multi-vehicle collision has resulted in the M1 being closed between Junction 7 Julianstown and Junction 8 Duleek.

Rule 90 requiring horses to be at the track one hour before the scheduled off time has been suspended.
