Following an inspection and after consultation with the BHA Inspectorate, Newcastle Racecourse has been forced to abandon its fixture scheduled for May 8th due to waterlogging and the forecast of further rain.
In response, the British Horseracing Authority has sanctioned an additional fixture at Southwell (AWT) on the same day. Wherever possible, similar races to those originally programmed at Newcastle have been added. Entries for the existing races at Newcastle will not stand.
Entries for all races must be made by noon on Saturday, 5th May, with declarations to run also made by 10am on Sunday, 6th May.

Ascot Fixture on May 2nd Transferred to Kempton Park
- Original Entries to Stand
- Declarations Close at 10am on Tuesday, May 1st
Following the abandonment of Ascot’s fixture on May 2nd, the British Horseracing Authority has sanctioned the transfer of the fixture to Kempton Park on the same day. All original entries for all races will stand with declarations to run made by 10am on Tuesday, May 1st. While it has been necessary to reduce prize money for each race, the fixture will still offer a total prize fund of £100,000, which is being met by the Horserace Betting Levy Board. Additionally, race number 41786 will now be permitted to divide.
Alan Delmonte, Levy Board Operations Director, said:
"We are very pleased that this high quality fixture will continue to be run and have made a further investment into our already planned prize money contribution to the day, taking the total to £100,000."
Paul Fisher, Group Managing Director, Jockey Club Racecourses, said:
"Kempton Park is delighted to be able to help reschedule such a high quality fixture at short notice. This is a great example of racing working together for the benefit of Horsemen and the racing public; and we are grateful for the proactive support of HBLB, the BHA and Ascot Racecourse."

Hereford all-Chase card programmed for Thursday, 3rd May – four Hurdle races and a Bumper abandoned
- Waterlogging forces abandonment of races
- Four new Steeple Chases now programme
Following an inspection and after consultation with the BHA Inspectorate, Hereford Racecourse has been forced to abandon the four Hurdle races and one National Hunt Flat race scheduled for Thursday, 3rd May, due to the Hurdle course being waterlogged in places.
In response, the British Horseracing Authority has created an all-Chase card, consisting of the two Steeple Chases already scheduled plus four additional Steeple Chase opportunities.
Keith Ottesen, Senior Clerk Of the Course at Hereford, said: “Due to parts of the hurdles track at Hereford being waterlogged following 75mm of rain since Wednesday 25th April, and the potential for further spells of heavy rain this week, the decision has been made to abandon the hurdle races and replace them with four additional Steeple Chases. Our thanks go to the BHA’s Racing Department for their swift response in rearranging the race programme.”
The new races will close at noon on Tuesday, 1st May, with declarations to be made by 10:00am on Wednesday, 2nd May. A revised running order and new race conditions are outlined below.
