5/2 for racing to not go ahead. 

Personally think it's 50/50 so that might be a bet!

I wouldn't be worried just yet, I'd say there would need to be a significant rise in confirmed cases for it to be called off or postponed. You would imagine that the majority of the visitors will be British or Irish, so there probably won't be much of a risk of spectators coming from countries that have been affected (so far).

Seems to be 50/50 in the betting now
Would imagine it will take a rocket of cases in both Ireland and the UK for them to consider postponing it

The betting doesn't really mean much does it, how are the gauging it?
If there is a big increase in cases here it'll be off, if not it'll be on i'd say

Apparently a lot of people who are going are backing it to not be on in order to recoup some of their costs if it's not on.

Nearly evens for it to go ahead now seems like printing money - no soccer game in England even being called into question at the moment which is effectively the exact same thing.

If you're going Southside then Searson's on Baggot St is a decent sports bar that does nice grub and has a PaddyPower literally next door to it.

Yeah it all depends whereabouts you are going to be based. There are plenty of decent pubs in Dublin but there's no point going all the way to Searsons if you're based near Parkgate Street and could just as easily head to Frank Ryans.

Toners Yard is very busy for the week if the weather is okay

They do, but sometimes pick up a sneaky tip in the bookies
Thinking around Baggot Street, so Toners might be decent.

Ryan’s on Camden Street

Don’t think I was there last year but year before they were doing 3 pints of anything for a tenner for duration of racing every day.. Or 1 pint for €3.33. Good pint too. Can’t be beat

Windjammer is a good spot too for racing any day of the year

Was in there last Saturday - they had racing on a couple of the side tvs as naturally the football was on main tv and commentary. Not the same watching racing without commentary. 

But as main event; I’d say it would be a decent shout alright next week.
