Ireland today

There is N.H. racing today at Cork (5 hurdles races with huge fields and one bumper) as well as flat racing from Naas. Easily the most interesting event is the 5 furlongs listed race at 17.10 at Naas. Two strong British raiders, Reverence (Eric Alston/ Jimmy Quinn) and Tax Free (David and Adrian Nicholls) are opposed by 8 locals, the best of whom could be Snaefell (Mike Halford/ Johnny Murtagh) and John Oxx´ 3yo Age of Chivalry (Mick Kinane)
