Going updates, including Leopardstown drainage work Ground conditions continue to ease as winter approaches with 3mm of rain having fallen overnight at The Curragh, ahead of Thursday’s fixture. Going at the Curragh course is now yielding on the straight track and good to yielding on the round. Mainly dry days are expected both today and tomorrow, although there is the possibility of 10-20mm of rain throughout Thursday. Limerick stages a big weekend, featuring the Munster National on Sunday, and going at the Munster course is currently good to yielding, good in places, with a similar possibility of up to 15mm of rain prior to racing. The ground at Leopardstown, ahead of its own weekend fixtures, is 'good', and ‘yielding’ for the final four furlongs. Due to drainage works, all races will commence on a part of the track traditionally used for chases, which is currently described as good. The final four furlongs of all races will then revert to a traditional Flat racing line which is yielding.
