Tuesday 16 April Abandoned

We regret to inform you that our next raceday at Newton Abbot Racecourse, scheduled for Tuesday 16 April, has been abandoned due to standing water on the track.

The decision, taken with the safety of both horses and jockeys in mind, was announced this week, leaving many disappointed spectators and participants.

Recent heavy rainfall has left sections of the track submerged, making it unsuitable for racing.

Despite the efforts of racecourse officials to mitigate the effects of the weather, the conditions did not improve sufficiently to ensure a safe environment for the scheduled races.

In light of this cancellation, racegoers who have purchased tickets for the event will be issued a full refund, ensuring fairness to all attendees.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience as we process these refunds promptly – usually within 7-10 working days.

With no plans for rescheduling this race, attention turns to the next fixture on the racing calendar.

The next raceday at Newton Abbot Racecourse is scheduled for Monday 20 May.
