Fairyhouse offer free racing on Thursday

The abandonment of the scheduled high class two-day National Hunt fixture at Fairyhouse on November 27 & 28 robbed Irish racing fans of a chance to see some of the biggest names and hottest Irish prospects in action ahead of the crucial Christmas period. But in an innovative move, the Fairyhouse management have decided to re-stage the main races on Thursday 2 December and are offering free entry to anyone able to rearrange their schedule and attend, writes Elliot Slater.

All plans hinge on an improvement in the freezing weather conditions, and it looks likely to be touch and go as to whether or not Fairyhouse will recover in time to take advantage of the enterprise of the racecourse management and racing tips for today.

If the weather does ease, those attending on Thursday will be treated to a top quality show, including Grade 1 races such as the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle in which Solwhit, Voler La Vedette and Hurricane Fly are amongst a strong list of entries, the Drinmore Novices’ Chase, which sees the return to action of the very smart Miakel d’Haguenet, and the Royal Bond Novices’ Hurdle that has attracted the very promising pair of Zaidpour and Perfect Smile.

In total Fairyhouse plan to offer an eight-race card that combines the best of the action that had originally been scheduled across their Saturday and Sunday fixtures. The races will be re-opened to allow fresh entries to be made in the hope that as many quality horses as possible will take their chance and get a run at a time when the weather has become so unpredictable.

Fingers are very firmly crossed that a thaw sets in across Ireland from the weekend onwards and that the efforts of the Fairyhouse executive are rewarded with a memorable and highly informative day’s racing.
