British racing will resume at Lingfield Park on
Wednesday the British Horseracing Board and Jockey Club announced today.
The sport was halted for seven days last week in light of the foot and mouth crisis.
But following a thorough review of the risk assessment by Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, it was decided that racing will restart on Wednesday, outside infected areas.
It is expected therefore that next week's Cheltenham Festival will go ahead as planned.
The meetings go ahead providing the racecourses are not in an infected area and providing the racecourses fully comply with the Instructions and Guidelines laid down by the BHB and Jockey Club.
