FIBRESAND PLAYS LEADING ROLE IN SOUTHWELL ALL-WEATHER TRACK UPGRADE

Southwell Racecourse is keeping faith in Fibresand for the extensive refurbishment of its All-Weather track, which began on 24th August.

Around 10,000 tons of new Fibresand will be laid at the Nottinghamshire venue in time for the start of its new winter season on 8th November.

As well as putting down the new surface, owners Arena Leisure are also improving the drainage system and raising the level of the track, which has been hit by waterlogging in the past.

Racecourse Manager David Williams says: “Fibresand has served us well since it was first put in place in 1989, and is popular with trainers. This latest refurbishment, together with improvements to the drainage and sub-structure, will ensure a first class racing surface for the winter ahead.”
