Garthorpe
Wednesday 16th April
The Quorn meeting on 26th April will be run on fresh ground that has not been raced on since April 2024.
All fences and bends along with the associated racing line will be on the inside line where there is exceptional grass cover that has already been mown to encourage more growth and cover
It looks as if the weather may well turn and become more unsettled which will assist prior to any irrigation as providing safe racing ground is a priority.
