Haydock Park Inspects Inner Course Amid Track Concerns
24 May
Summary
- An inspection will occur Tuesday to assess the inner course.
- A hole discovered Saturday halted racing on the outer course.
- Future fixtures depend on the inspection's outcome.
Racing at Haydock Park faces potential disruption due to a hole discovered on the outer course during Saturday's opening race. Consequently, a special inspection is scheduled for Tuesday at 1pm to evaluate the suitability of switching next weekend's fixtures to the inner course. The outer track's integrity is currently under intense scrutiny, prompting this assessment.
External specialists have been engaged to investigate the cause of the hole. Daniel Cooper, clerk of the course, stated that remedial work will commence once the cause is established. This development impacts upcoming two-day fixtures on Friday, May 29, and Saturday, May 30. Updates regarding the inner course inspection will be provided promptly in coordination with the BHA.
The Betway Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes, a notable Group Three contest, is among the feature races potentially affected by these track issues.
