New racecourse starts Thursday :thumbs

No bets for it though as I want to see what the times are, and how form works out at the first meeting. Very exciting though. :smile:

I suppose Liverpool must have been playing last Sunday then? :doh1:

It's just Great Leighs revamped the track remains the same -

the Racing Post have still got GL's standard times & Dave Edwards has credited 11th Jan meeting fast time of Zac Brown with new track record:

That's where I did 20/1 Invigilator on the Joint Effort race - that was a good quality meet, today's is poor:mad:

I know its Great Leighs, but it will take a while for the track to settle back in. It's probably loaded with pigeon poo :rolleyes:

Three of the seven races yesterday broke standard so it's riding faster than any other AW track at present.

I know what you're saying though - it has taken Wolverhampton a couple of months to settle down.

As far as I am aware, the 'dirt' at Chelmsford was completely removed. Not sure if it was replaced or just sitting around though. It was riding well 3-4 years ago, and I believe a few trainers will be using it for training which should help it bed in.

I'd never visit the track though, grandstand in the middle! :thumbsdown:
