A week extension to the flat turf season and an increase of five in the number of fixtures scheduled at Dundalk in November are among the changes to the fixture list announced today by Horse Racing Ireland for the remainder of 2020, with a new schedule published for August through to December.

Following the previously announced June and July schedules, which featured nine extra race meetings, a further 39 will be added in the last five months. This will restore 48 of the 87 fixtures that were lost between the end of March and next Monday’s resumption of racing at Naas.
