Brighton Racecourse in England has received approval to resume racing after a significant bug infestation led to the cancellation of its fixtures last month. The infestation, caused by leatherjackets and nematodes, resulted in urgent restorative work on the track. A total of 123 horses were entered for the first fixture, which was initially scheduled to kick off the season. Following successful restoration efforts, the racecourse confirmed that the surface is now suitable for racing. The first meeting is set for May 29, 2023, with the turf reported to be in 'prime condition.' Paul Ellison, the Executive Director of Brighton Racecourse, expressed his appreciation for the hard work of the Grounds Team and thanked the local community, owners, trainers, jockeys, and annual members for their patience during this period. Notably, jockey Tom Queally, known for riding the legendary Frankel, participated in a gallops morning and expressed confidence in the track's condition, stating that the horses showed good traction and grip. The racecourse looks forward to welcoming back its community and resuming its racing season.
