Leopardstown stop watering The ground remains good to firm at Leopardstown ahead of this Saturday's Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes. Watering has now ceased at the Dublin course and weather permitting one track will be used for the meeting. The forecast is dry and warm up until Friday although there is a slight chance of showers on Thursday and Friday. Rain is forecast to move into the Dublin area on Saturday. Leopardstown chief executive Pat Keogh said today:- "Parts of the track were firm on Monday, but we watered Monday afternoon and on Tuesday and now it's good to firm all round. "We've ceased watering. There could be some rain coming in on Friday or Saturday, so we'll just have to monitor things as we go along. "There is a lovely covering of grass and the track is in beautiful condition. "We're all looking forward to a great day's racing."
