Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 10, 2020 Journalists Share Posted November 10, 2020 There will be 14 additional fixtures added to the UK racing calendar following approval by the Board of the British Horseracing Authority. The proposal was submitted by the Racecourse Association (RCA) which has the full support of the Horsemen’s Group (HB). The fixtures have been added to shore up racecourse finances, as well as generate a positive return for the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB). The 14 fixtures are as follows: Flat Fixtures: 15/11/20 Southwell – Afternoon 22/11/20 Wolverhampton – Afternoon 23/11/20 Chelmsford City – Floodlit 24/11/20 Lingfield Park – Afternoon 30/11/20 Kempton Park – Afternoon 01/12/20 Newcastle – Afternoon 06/12/20 Southwell – Afternoon 07/12/20 Chelmsford City – Afternoon 08/12/20 Wolverhampton – Afternoon 13/12/20 Lingfield Park – Afternoon 14/12/20 Kempton Park – Floodlit 15/12/20 Newcastle – Afternoon Jump Fixtures: 29/11/20 Ffos Las 20/12/20 Bangor-on-Dee “These additional fixtures will give some relief in the most challenging of times to the racecourses that are staging them and to the horsemen who have additional opportunities to race,” said RCA Chief Executive David Armstrong. “This is an excellent example of the industry working together for the common good and we are grateful to the Levy Board for its support.” The post 14 Additional Fixtures Added to UK Calendar appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
