THIS week’s column is dedicated to Killarney Racecourse. Despite their best efforts in recent times to lobby for an easing of restrictions in advance of their August Festival, the ‘Limbo 500’ spectator restriction has remained in place.

The management at Killarney have voiced their disappointment at this decision. However, it is important to recognise how they have generously used the opportunity to highlight the urgent requirement for clarity for their colleagues at racecourses nationwide, especially for their friends at Listowel Races.
