Tipperary on Thursday cancelled Following an inspection of the Flat course, the fixture scheduled to take place at Tipperary on Thursday, 25 April, has been cancelled. Paddy Graffin, IHRB Clerk of the Course at Tipperary said: “Our Flat track at Tipperary has been unfit for racing since entries for Thursday’s fixture opened up last week. “We were keen to give this fixture every opportunity, especially with the change in the weather over the weekend, but despite some small improvement in recent days it just wasn’t sufficient enough to get us to where we needed to be in time for Thursday. “There has been some drying on the National Hunt track and we will have no problems there on Tuesday but the Flat track is still saturated in some areas and remains unfit for racing. “On that basis we must cancel Thursday’s fixture and Tipperary Racecourse are working with Horse Racing Ireland to reschedule.” The ground on the National Hunt track at Tipperary is soft. The first of a seven race card on Tuesday, 23 April, is due off at 1.50pm.
