Following the cancellation of Haydock Park’s fixtures on Friday 29 May and Saturday 30 May, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) can confirm that two additional fixtures have been scheduled.
On Friday, Wolverhampton will host a six-race card, with the ability to divide to eight. Entries will close at 12 noon tomorrow (Wednesday 27 May), with declarations to be made by 10am on Thursday 28 May. As a result of this additional fixture, the jockey booking deadline for Friday’s fixtures will be extended by 24 hours.
Carlisle will stage an eight-race card on Saturday, which includes the rescheduling of the Silver Bowl from Haydock’s fixture on 23 May. The Silver Bowl will retain the same prize money and will be one of five races from Carlisle to be shown on ITV Racing.
Except for the addition of the Silver Bowl and some minor distance changes (detailed below), the race programme at Carlisle will mirror Haydock’s originally scheduled card on Saturday. Entries will close at 12 noon tomorrow, with declarations to be made by 10am on Thursday.
Betway are retaining sponsorship of all of Saturday’s races and in addition, are expanding their support to sponsor the Silver Bowl.
The distance changes will be as follows:
- THE BETWAY HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) will now be staged over 1m 3f 39y (previously 1m 3f 175y)
- THE BETWAY LESTER PIGGOTT FILLIES’ STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 3) will now be staged over 1m 3f 39y (previously 1m 3f 175y)
