Drying ground at Curragh and Tipperary It’s a fine morning at the Curragh with a largely dry forecast for the day ahead. The ground on the straight track has ‘tightened up’ a little bit and is now described as good to yielding, while the round course is good, good to yielding in places. An eight race card, featuring three Group 2 races, gets under way at 2.00 pm. As was the case yesterday, the middle track up the straight is being used and the stalls will be in the centre for all sprint races. There’s jumping today at Tipperary, and the first of seven races, goes to post at 2.20 pm. It's an 'all chase' card, with four beginners' chases and three handicaps on the programme. The updated going description is good to yielding, with a dry day forecast, and they're watering to maintain.
