Hennessy meeting now next Saturday
Leopardstown's Hennessy Gold Cup meeting has been rescheduled for next Saturday after it was called off today due to waterlogging.
A number of other meetings have been switched to facilitate the high-profile fixture, which features four Grade One events.
Racecourse manager Tom Burke said: "We are very grateful to the other racecourses for their assistance in these changes and would like to inform all Gowran Park, Fairyhouse and Navan annual badge members they will be admitted free of charge to Leopardstown on Saturday."
Speaking earlier about the abandonment, Burke said: "We had another 10 millimetres of rain overnight, and in total we have had 17 millimetres since 3pm on Saturday, which is more than we could cope with."
The four Grade One races will revert to their original entries, and fresh forfeits must be made by noon on Tuesday.
