A VISIT TO NEWBRIDGE COMES RECOMMENDED

Ian Fortune

While most people are very busy at present in the run up to Christmas, those wishing to take an hour or two away from preparations should strongly consider a journey to Newbridge this evening for an 11-race card packed with sweepstake action.

The action gets underway at 7.30pm and finishes just over two hours later at 9.40pm. There are no fewer than five sweepstakes on the card and the resulting racing should be thoroughly entertaining. The semi-finals of the Christmas Cracker ON2/ ON3 525 gets proceedings underway, followed by the semis of the Thank You to Our Sponsors 325 and the Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 525/550.

The opening round of the Adopt a Greyhound A3 comes next with the semis of the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust 525/550 bringing down the curtain on proceedings.
