by David Thompson - Sports Editor

Limerick Racecourse has cancelled its scheduled card⁣ for today, January ⁤27, 2026, due to a ‍waterlogged track. The decision follows an inspection‍ this morning and comes after notable rainfall in recent weeks.

according to Shane Ryder, the⁣ Irish horse Racing Board ⁢(IHRB) clerk of the course at Limerick, 12mm of rain fell overnight, adding to 31mm since last Thursday and ‌a ​further 53mm in the⁤ preceding two weeks.

The cancellation ⁢coincides with a Status Yellow⁤ wind warning in ‍effect across Ireland until 11pm, issued‍ in response to Storm Chandra, ‌as reported by RTÉ News. Further showers are forecast for today, leaving officials with no ​alternative but to call off the fixture.
