Racing UK track Salisbury survived an inspection but the channel have lost an important course after Chester signed up for Sky Sports Racing
The good news for Racing UK this morning is that the meeting at Salisbury has passed an 8am inspection and should proceed as planned, as it has escaped the rain affecting many parts of the country and none is expected before the meeting opens as 2pm.
The bad news, however, is that two of its tracks – Chester and Bangor – will jump ship in March next year to join their big rivals At The Races, which will by then have been rebranded as Sky Sports Racing. If Chester cannot quite be called a jewel in the Racing UK crown, it is very much at the top of the second tier and it is also one of the most popular courses in the country in terms of its attendance.
