DIFFERENT LOOK TO SHELBOURNE’S WEEKEND ACTION

Ian Fortune

The weekend line-up at Shelbourne Park looks a little different, but there’s still plenty of action to look forward to.

Friday’s card features eight races with a later-than-usual off time of 7.57pm. The final contest is scheduled for 9.42pm. There will be the standard 15 minutes between races. Weigh-in begins at the usual 6.30pm.

Saturday’s card which features the final of the Tote Gold Cup also consists of  eight races, starting at the slightly later time of 7.48pm and concluding at 9.40pm. Race intervals will vary due to SIS scheduling, so connections and racegoers should keep an eye on timings throughout the evening.

WEEKEND TRIALS

Official trials go ahead as usual on both nights from 5.30pm to 6pm, giving connections a valuable window before the main racing begins.
