Return of spectators a vital step to secure racing’s future

December 2, 2020 By Steve Adams

Crowds return to racing today at Haydock, Lingfield, Ludlow and Kempton, with a maximum of 2,000 spectators permitted at each of the courses. However all 4 courses expect to number their actual attendance in three figures rather than four.

Key Takeaways:

  • No alcohol will be served, but in other respects the raceday experience will be as close to normal as social distancing protocols permit.
  • Spectators will obviously have a fantastic view of the racing itself, and there will be good access to the parade ring and winner’s enclosure.
  • A sell-out crowd of 2,000 fans will watch horses race over the Grand National fences on Saturday.

Cheltenham will need to find a new sponsor for its most prestigious race after the cider-maker Magners said that it will not take up an option to back the Gold Cup in 2022 after its initial three-year contract ends next March.
