SATURDAY'S Leopardstown card has been transferred to Monday, a public holiday, following an early morning inspection. The track was found to be unfit for racing due to waterlogging. Officials had already advised that, should the course fail the inspection on Saturday morning, the entire card would be moved to Monday. The Punchestown fixture which had been scheduled for Monday has been switched to Wednesday.
Leopardstown will stage a further inspection on Sunday morning ahead of that day's card.
