Jessica Harrington goes into self-isolation after attending Cheltenham Festival

Leading trainer Jessica Harrington has decided to self-isolate for two weeks after attending the Cheltenham Festival.

The 73-year-old will not attend a race meeting in the next fortnight but stressed the industry must do everything it can to keep racing on the road through the coronavirus pandemic.

Harrington, who will remain at her Moone-based yard in County Kildare, said: "It's very important we keep going and I think it's very important that people in racing realise we are doing everything we can in order to keep going.
