TWO ADDITIONAL ALL-WEATHER FLAT RACES ADDED TO WOLVERHAMPTON CARD ON 3 DECEMBER 2010

30 Nov 2010 Pre-2014 Releases

Due to the current spell of weather continuing to threaten racing on turf, the British Horseracing Authority, in conjunction with the Horserace Betting Levy Board, has created two additional all-weather races to be added to Wolverhampton’s card on Friday 3 December.  The new races will be added to the start of the card so that the first race time will be 14:35.

The new races will close at noon on Wednesday 1 December, whilst declarations to run must be made by 10.00 a.m. on Thursday 2 December.  Declarations for the original races on the card must still be made by 10.00 a.m. on Wednesday 1 December.

In addition to the two new races, the existing race receiving the highest number of declarations at the 48 hour declaration stage will be divided, regardless of whether it receives 20 or more declarations.  This will result in a ten race card.

The BHA is grateful to the HBLB for its help in staging these extra races.

The new running order and times will be as follows:

2:35 68778   THE TONY McCOY FOR BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY MEDIAN AUCTION MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 6)
