WEST CORK, Ireland – Due to high winds and heavy rain the Owenahincha Road Trotting races which was to feature the All Ireland Road trotting Championships had to cancelled .
With the track close to the Atlantic ocean at this beautiful venue the swirling winds were blowing at such speeds (130 km per hour was recorded at 11am) the committee took the sensible option to cancel the races as the ocean swell along with the heavy rain were encroaching on the tarmac .
It is a huge disappointment for the organisers who had pulled out all the stops to ensure a great day .
The ITHRF along with the promoters are organising to re fix the meeting
Next Sunday the action switches to Goleen the most westerly venue on the circuit and on a fine Summers day one can almost see the East Coast of the USA .
Details of entries will be published on www.harnessracingcork.com
