SANDRACER.COM - Southwell AW Racetrack Opens Again

Southwell reopens tomorrow after the flood damage caused by the summer (June) floods. The racetrack is only left with a temporary reduction in the stabling capacity of 74, plus a few bars and public amenities won't be open.

"Everything will be ready, within reason," said Southwell general manager Nathan Corden.

"There will be limited public facilities open. We hope to have the first floor of the main stand open and the majority of downstairs open.

"There will be no owners' and trainers' bar and one of the bars in the grandstand ground floor might not be open - we will see how the workmen get on with that.

"I'm looking forward to it, it has been six months since we last raced and it will be great to have racing back here.

"We have been brilliantly supported, we have eight races so we can't complain at all."
