Has Irish racing gone mad with new fixtures that won’t allow Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott to have runners?

HAS Irish racing gone mad? It appears insanity has set in.

Although it’s had little press, it appears Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), the equivalent of the BHA, has decided on a new series of National Hunt races beginning in January that specifically preclude horses trained by Willie Mullins, Gordon Elliott, Henry de Bromhead and Gavin Cromwell.

My understanding is that this was first mooted in April...
