July Course Weighing Room And Head-on Stand To Be Redeveloped

The weighing room and head-on stand at Newmarket's July Course will be redeveloped between 2022 and 2023, The Jockey Club announced on Wednesday. The internal layout and facilities of the weighing room will be upgraded as part of an ongoing industry-wide project. However, the traditional thatched roof overlooking the winner's enclosure will be retained. Both the head-on stand and trackside bar facilities will be upgraded and include a first-floor viewing terrace with stunning views of the racecourse. The head-on stand will receive a new roof and the project will also contain sustainability improvements for the July Course via solar panels and low-energy lighting.

Sophie Able, General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses, said, “The new complex will give racing professionals and participants the top-class facilities they need as well as enhancing the customer experience, all whilst maintaining the unique look and feel of The July Course. We are looking forward to work beginning in the autumn and finishing the project before racing returns in June 2023.”

GBRI Launches Video Series To Drive International Ownership In The UK

The first episode in a five-part video series to showcase the various aspects that make owning a horse-in-training in Britain worthwhile, was launched by Great British Racing International (GBRI) on Monday. Titled 'Be A Part Of it: Owning In Britain', the first video is Sir Mark Prescott reflecting on the history and heritage that underpins the British racing experience. Additional videos will be released every Monday. The series, backed by the National Trainers' Federation (NTF), will also show the training environment that Thoroughbreds are exposed to in Britain, as well as the high-quality facilities available; spending a morning with your trainer at their yard or on the gallops; and the quintessential British raceday experience. The final installment is scheduled for right before the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale on Aug. 23-24.

NTF Chief Executive Paul Johnson said, “This video series is an excellent initiative by GBRI on behalf of British trainers, as it showcases all the elements that we do so very well in Britain–the heritage, the facilities, the training environment, the behind-the-scenes experience and the raceday experience. Exhibiting each of these elements to prospective international investors can only be a positive for the industry.”
