2018/19 Fixture List details

[BillyHills]

The new fixture list was published today, even more meetings at a time when I think its fair to say that the majority of people think there is just far too much racing. 
Ive noticed also that two extra AW meetings have been added next week, due to the recent hot weather? Work that one out.

Any thoughts?

The BHA Board has previously approved Chelmsford City’s application to install a turf course for turf racing. At this stage, no turf fixtures or races at Chelmsford City have been approved to take place in 2019. This will be revisited once further progress has been made on the construction of the turf track, with a decision on the timing of the first turf races not required until the details of the races at each fixture are published in the Programme Book.
