Unfortunately the race meeting planned for Saturday 4th February has now been abandoned due to frost.

Having so far escaped the worst of the weather this week (We were raceable on Thursday 2nd February), we unfortunately encountered below freezing temperatures from 9pm onwards last night which fell to a low of -6.   Despite being a clear, bright sunny day today, the temperature has not risen above 3 degrees, and we are still frozen.  Given the clear skies and predicted overnight temperatures of a potential -7, we do not feel that we now have any chance of racing tomorrow and have therefore taken the decision to abandon.

Anybody who is in possession of advance purchased tickets can claim a full refund.  

All refund applications must be claimed by writing to the racecourse office within 14 days of the date of the meeting.  Please return your tickets or badges, with the name and address of who is to receive the refund and provide details as to how they were originally purchased. 

Please note that if you have purchased advance racecard vouchers or packages which include refreshment/tote and racecard vouchers; you must also return these in order to gain a full refund.

We will process your refund either by crediting the card your original payment was made with or in the case of cash/cheque purchases by sending you a cheque.

If you purchased badges/tickets in advance of the meeting, and they were not sent out but left for collection on the day of racing, then you will receive an automatic refund.

Hospitality clients will be offered a full refund or may choose to transfer their booking to another fixture; a member of the hospitality team will contact you early next week.
