A bit off the thread topic,  but a few years ago, before tiny homes became topical,  a former owner was trying to interest admin in that very concept for security in an area with little, the training facilities here and most particularly,  the visitors area. Individual stable blocks can be locked, and a couple have cameras, but the overall complex can be accessed easily and at any time. A cottage or similar for a nightwatchman would have been a very good idea.

Too late for Committees.  The industry needs strong decisive centralised management.  

Debut hurdle winner Minella Academy (lot 6) has been added to the catalogue for the Goffs Coral Gold Cup Sale at Newbury Racecourse on Saturday.

The newly formed Varese Turf & Sport will become the new concession holder of Varese Racecourse on January 1, 2026, the organisation announced on Tuesday. Varese Turf & Sport released a statement which read in part, “The challenges ahead are many and significant, but we are ready to immediately deploy skills, energy, and investments to launch a concrete and long-lasting renewal path for the racecourse. “Our objective is clear: to relaunch the world of horse racing as both a symbol and a driving force of a broader process of enhancement of the city's sporting, cultural, and economic sectors. We firmly believe that the racecourse can once again become a point of reference not only for enthusiasts but for the entire Varese community and, more broadly, for northern Italy, thanks to modern programming, renewed services, and an open approach toward the city. “In the coming months, an intervention plan will take shape involving facilities, activities, and initiatives linked to horse racing, with particular attention to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration with local stakeholders.” The post Varese Turf & Sport Awarded Concession Of Varese Racecourse appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
