The Thurles Baptist Church celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and will mark the occasion with a week of special events in August. Dr Stephen McAuley is Pastor of Thurles Baptist Church joined Fran this morning...

Tom in for Nick again and joined by broadcaster Jane Mangan. We start with the the story in Ireland that has been developing since last week with the announcement that Thurles Racecourse was to close with immediate effect. We ask what the next step might be for Thurles and what the current landscape looks like in Ireland for other racecourses. General Manager of Gowran Park Eddie Scally gives his views and outlines a difficult financial climate in Ireland for racecourses. Jane also gives her views on the 2026 UK fixture list published yesterday with emphasis on a dwindling foal crop. It's Shergar Cup weekend and we hear from Robbie Dolan and Per-Andres Grabergb both riding at the meeting on Saturday. Plus Neil Channing is along to give his views on a Guardian article penned by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown who argues for the need to raise gambling taxation.

Two huge shocks - one on the racecourse, the other about a racecourse - are at the centre of this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Lewis Porteous and Matthew Rennie start the show by reflecting on last week's events at Glorious Goodwood and try to explain how 150-1 pacemaker Qirat was able to win the Sussex Stakes. The team also looks at whether it was right to start the Group 1 Nassau Stakes by tape and reflect on a Goodwood Cup that was marred by the death of popular stayer Trueshan. After discussing the disqualification of Helvic Dream as winner of the Galway Hurdle, the attention stays on Ireland following the seismic news that Thurles racecourse has been closed with immediate effect. Lee, Lewis and Matt consider why that has happened and ask whether other racecourses in Ireland and Britain will be vulnerable to the same fate.

Coming to you from day 4 of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, Nick is joined by Rishi Persad, both on great cricketing form. They reflect on the biblical conditions at the track yesterday, as well as looking through the key performances, including Whirl's dominance of a somewhat controversial Qatar Nassau Stakes. We hear from TPD's Adam Mills and Dan Barber from Timeform on the performance of Whirl in the Qatar Nassau Stakes. Jason Singh talks all things Tattersalls. We also hear from David Armstrong, owner of Coppull, winner of The Richmond Stakes. Kevin Blake brings the breaking news of the immediate closure of Thurles racecourse. Jane Mangan is back at Galway before we wrap up the show with a few tips from Rishi.

An award winning retailer has praised the county's local gift card for its ease of use and commission free nature after enjoying a bumper 6 months of sales through the card. Second generation family run business Moran's Menswear opened its doors in 1970 and celebrates 55 years in business in 2025. The menswear retailer joined the Love Tipperary Gift Card when it launched in November 2024, with over €5,000 of gift cards spent in the store in 6 months. The Love Tipperary Gift Card is backed by County Tipperary Chamber and Tipperary County Council, with 300 businesses accepting the card. Both physical and digital versions of the card are available. Moran's Menswear was founded in 1970, moving to its current shop in Thurles in 2020 before the first lockdown. In the past 5 years, the retailer has tripled the size of the store, added a private wedding room and won the Drapers award for Best Independent Menswear across Ireland and the UK. Diarmuid Moran, owner of Moran's Menswear, said the Love Tipperary Gift Card supports their ethos as a business: "We're proud supporters of the independent sector and the power of shop local. If a person shops with Amazon that money is leaving Ireland but if you buy local it stays local and gets reinvested in the economy through jobs and the support local businesses provide to community projects and clubs. The Love Tipperary Gift Card is all about encouraging people to shop local and providing support for local businesses, so we are very happy to be a part of it. I think it's a great initiative for Tipperary. "One of the main benefits of the Love Tipperary Gift Card is the fact that it's commission free. For example, I had a One4All Gift Card in the store today for €100 and I gave €12 of that to One4All in commission. In comparison, accepting the Love Tipperary Gift Card is 100% commission free. Another major benefit is the ease of use. I can swipe the physical version while the digital version is added to the recipient's digital wallet so they can 'tap to pay'. "We've accepted over €4,000 of Love Tipperary Gift Cards since the initiative launched in November 2024, and I think that is down to the ease of use for merchants accepting the card and recipients spending it. Moran's Menswear is a destination store which caters to a broad market, from 15 years of age upwards, so when people come into the store to spend their Love Tipperary Gift Card they could be buying anything from branded items to wedding attire, shoes to accessories. "It's our aim to make every customer feel welcome, so when they are spending their Love Tipperary Gift Card at Moran's, they're receiving the best individualised service. One thing I've noted is that when customers have the Love Tipperary Gift Card to spend they tend to trade up and spend more on top of the Gift Card value." Diarmuid encourages local organisations to consider using the cards as rewards, and urges businesses who are not currently accepting the card to register: "The Love Tipperary Gift Card is a positive initiative for Tipperary and is ideal for organisations to use as rewards because it is a tangible way they can show support for their community. I'd like to see the Love Tipperary Gift Card becoming even more embedded within the community, and more organisations using the cards for rewards, ringfencing reward spend into County Tipperary. "For local businesses in County Tipperary, it's very simple. If you're not part of the Love Tipperary Gift Card then people are not going to visit your business to spend their cards with you. As a business, you have to keep reinventing and moving forwards, and that includes participating in positive community initiatives that benefit the community like the Love Tipperary Gift Card. €5,000 of additional spend in just over 6 months is a positive for any independent business." Michelle Aylward, Chief Executive at County Tipperary Chamber said: "We introduced the Love Tipperary Gift Card as a means to provide tangible suppor...
