Next week , weather permitting, the NIPA will have 2 races on the same day from Dunmanway. In the yearling race you are only permitted to enter a maximum of 20 birds , in the other race you can send as many as you wish and any age you wish. This is on a similar note to today’s 5 bird where all birds compete in the Dunmanway race but only the 20 yearlings compete in the yearling national.
