The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) can confirm that the next two fixtures scheduled to take place at Chelmsford City Racecourse (CCR) have been transferred.
The fixture on Thursday 18 June has moved to Yarmouth, while the following meeting on Sunday 5 July will be held at Southwell.
The race programme for the fixture on 18 June will remain the same. There will be the following tweaks to the programme on 5 July:
- The Queen Charlotte Fillies’ Stakes (Listed) will be replaced with a 1m 3yo Class 5 Handicap
- The 4yo+ Class 4 1m 2f Handicap will now be staged over 1m 3f
- The 3yo+ Class 5 1m 5f 66y Handicap will now be staged over 1m 6f
A new date and venue for the Queen Charlotte will be confirmed next week.
Golden Mile Racing Limited (GMRL), the new company formed to operate CCR, is not currently licensed by the BHA to stage any fixture. This means that no further fixtures will be staged at CCR pending the outcome of any appeal process.
The BHA’s racing department will continue to work with the National Trainers Federation, trainers, owners and other stakeholders to provide sufficient opportunities for horses within the race programme.
