Six additional fixtures, two Flat floodlit cards and four Jump fixtures, have been added between Feb. 20-28, the British Horseracing Authority announced on Thursday. The fixtures are as follows:
- Chelmsford City–Wednesday, Feb. 20
- Wolverhampton–Thursday, Feb. 21
- Catterick–Friday, Feb. 22
- Uttoxeter–Monday, Feb. 25
- Ffos Las–Tuesday, Feb. 26
- Musselburgh–Thursday, Feb. 28
The entry and declaration process will be as normal, with more information found at www2.racingadmin.co.uk. The BHA has also lifted the restriction on races dividing for all races through the end of February.
“Given the extraordinary circumstances of recent days we were acutely aware of the number of horses that will be needing to run next week throughout all levels of the horse population,” said BHA Head of Racing Paul Johnson. “As such, we have moved as quickly as possible to add six fixtures next week across both codes. Race programmes at these fixtures are being finalised but will reflect feedback from trainers received in recent days and weeks. Coupled with increased flexibility on divisions at many racecourses, the aim is very much to ensure that suitable opportunities exist for those horses that need them. Our thanks go to the Horserace Betting Levy Board and the racecourses involved for their help in staging these fixtures so quickly.”
