Enable winning at Chester | Racing Post

There have been several changes made to upcoming races in the UK and the overall race programme, the British Horseracing Authority announced on Monday. The September to December Fixture List is still under discussion with more updates expected later in the week. As of now, the changes are:

  • Beginning in August, field sizes for Jump races can revert to the maximum limit imposed by the racecourse.
  • Chester's Aug. 9 fixture will move to Aug. 10
  • Windsor's Aug. 10 fixture will move to Aug. 9
  • Chester's Aug. 14 fixture is unchanged
  • Salisbury has added a race to its Aug. 9 card
  • Redcar's £100,000 Two Year Old Trophy has been confirmed, with entries closing on July 28.
  • Finally, foreign-trained runners are only permitted in Class 1 races and Heritage Handicaps, but this ruling will be reviewed in early September.
