ENNISCORTHY LIKELY TO ATTRACT BIG CROWD

Ian Fortune

There will be a big crowd at Enniscorthy this evening as they run their big fundraiser for the year.

There is so much on offer, especially those with a family as they again roll out the red carpet for the kids with free admission, face-painting and a treasure hunt.

There is also a wonderful raffle with some superb prizes, while there will be catering facilities both inside and outside. Hopefully the weather will be favourable in the sunny south east and a journey to Enniscorthy comes highly recommended.

The sixopening round heats of the Wexford GOBA Open Unraced are the undoubted feature of the action on the track with many well-bred youngsters on show. Many of those on show boast some superb qualifying form and it would be no surprise if more potential superstars were to emerge from the valuable stake.

Indeed, it seems fitting that in English Derby final week, Enniscorthy is hosting an unraced competition. Of course, in recent years, the likes of Thorn Falcon and Jaytee Jet began their career at Enniscorthy before going on to land the English Derby.

The door open at 7pm tonight with the opening race scheduled for 8pm.
