Further engagements have been planned with the Task Force and the Minister to sort things out. If all goes well and the club gets the green light, then the meet will be held.
In the meantime, preparations are being made for the activity with the Club releasing a provisional programme.
The aim is to have the event held behind closed doors or with a limited number of people except those concerning the horses. Plans are also being made to have the activity live streamed or have a delayed broadcast.
The events listed so far are –the L Class Open, an event for Two-Year-Old animals, one for K Class animals, a race for L Class non-winning horses all over 1100Meters, while the H Class, the J Class and Three-Year-Old horses will compete over 1400M. (Samuel Whyte)
