Killultaghs make apology & charity donation The Killultagh Hunt, following the abandonment of Friday evening’s point to point fixture, wish to apologise to everyone who attended on the first session of our meeting. It was most regrettable that due to circumstances beyond the control of the organisers, insufficient ambulance cover arrived and the fixture had to be cancelled — we also fully understand the Turf Club’s decision to cancel as health and safety and the welfare of jockeys and spectators is paramount at sporting events. While some racegoers were reimbursed their admission cost and those attending on Saturday were able to exchange Friday’s race card for Saturday’s fixture, it is impossible to compensate everyone affected. The Killultagh Hunt has therefore taken the decision to donate £1,000 to the Children’s Cancer Ward at the Belfast City Hospital as a gesture of goodwill. We wish to thank sponsors, owners, trainers, riders and the public for their support and attendance on Saturday when seven races took place with the Hunt club providing free entry as a gesture following Friday’s failure to stage racing. Again the Killultagh Hunt apologise for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation on Friday to all concerned.
