Scotland’s cautious path out of lockdown means that sport will not be possible, even behind closed doors, until next month
The
British Horseracing Authority said on Thursday that it is planning a resumption of racing in
Scotland at Ayr on 22 June, “in accordance with the Scottish government’s route map for exiting lockdown”, with fixtures also planned for Hamilton Park (24 and 28 June) and Musselburgh (30 June) before the end of next month.
Final declarations for Monday’s card behind closed doors at Newcastle, which is expected to be the first meeting in
Britain since mid-March, are due to be published on Friday morning, but Scotland’s more cautious path out of lockdown in comparison to that in
England means that sport will not be possible, even behind the closed doors, until later in the month.
