If you’re planning to have a punt on any of today’s races at the Punchestown Festival, you’d be smart to do your research before committing to a selection.
One crucial area that is worth looking into is the all-important ground conditions and weather forecast as a bit of extra juice in the ground could ruin a horse’s chances or play right into their hooves.
But before you panic about having to do a spot of amateur meteorology, we’ve done the hard work for you. That’ll save you the hassle of digging out the weather vane from the back of the cupboard…
Despite taking place during the height of spring, the five-day meeting looks set to be a chilly affair – and you’ll probably have to wrap up warm if you’re heading to the County Kildare track.
Good old Paddy’s put enough coins in the meter to live stream every race at the Punchestown Festival on the Paddy Power and Paddy Power app, where you will also find the latest Punchestown odds.
Otherwise all the key information about the going and weather forecast for the opening day of the Punchestown Festival 2023 is below.
