Next Race: Round 7 – Thursday, June 15th – 4 Mile – O’ Connor Cup – Grass Race – Santry Demesne – 8pm. The O’ Connor Cup should provide for firm underfoot conditions; however it could prove to be soft if we get any prolonged spell of rain. Anyhow, a bit of advice; for good ground, wear training shoes and for soft ground you may need to wear shoes with good grip or spikes. Lets hope the ground is firm !!! – See you there !!. Presentations for Round 5 – The Santry Mile, Round 6 – The Mc Carrick Plate and Round 7 – The O’ Connor Cup will take place on the evening of Thursday, June 15th and all runners are encouraged to attend – it could be you !!!.
