The planned trial meetings at Warwick and Newmarket later this month will go ahead with crowds limited to a thousand
Doncaster’s pilot to get some paying spectators back into a racecourse lasted only one day and the remainder of its Leger Festival will unfold in near-silence, but there is slightly more positive news from Jockey Club Racecourses regarding planned trials with limited crowds at Warwick and Newmarket later this month.
Rather than the 5,000 who were due to be at Town Moor for the Leger on Saturday, the jumps card at Warwick on 21 September and the three-day meeting at Newmarket from 24 September are expected to have an attendance limit of 1,000. As things stand, though, both could still go ahead, which seemed unlikely when Doncaster’s trial was called off on Wednesday.
