Musselburgh All Weather Project Progress

All-weather racing code followers will likely be aware various racecourses are eyeing up the benefits associated with AW racing surfaces, such as the Southwell fibresand or the Lingfield polytrack. Many racehorse trainers have caught on - all weather gallops are appearing more and more at training stables.

Musselburgh intend to install a floodlit all-weather track, alongside improvements to the East Lothian grade 1 turf racetrack and a new stable complex/stable yard (estimated total cost of £11 million).

The benefits of a floodlit AWT are numerous according to the people at Musselburgh racecourse. For further progress information on how the new all-weather track at Musselburgh is coming along, you can read their Musselburgh Racecourse Floodlit All Weather Track Project Summary.
