A phased and limited reintroduction of Irish point-to-points will begin on Apr. 10. The point-to-point season had been suspended on Jan. 13 in light of coronavirus restrictions.
Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board will assist in ensuring that these fixtures are staged in a safe and controlled manner, based on the health and safety protocols which have been applied at race meetings. Four fixtures have been confirmed-Cork on Apr. 10, Tipperary on Apr. 11 and Fairyhouse on Apr. 17 and 18. Only essential staff will be authorised to attend. Details of further fixtures will be announced later this week.
