Great Leighs Confirmed To Open April 4, 2008
Great Leighs AW Track will be opening on the 4th of April 2008, according to the BHB, 1 day before the Aintree Grand National. The first new racetrack to stage racing in Britain for 81 years.He added: "One must not expect a "grand opening" - this is a completely new destination where safety will take precedence.
"We see April 4 as a "soft opening" and if we can achieve the headline "Great Leighs goes off without a hitch" that will be a triumph. We have a further eight fixtures in April, upon which we can build.
"This will give both us and our operators - Arena Leisure plc, Sodexo Prestige and Stan James Bookmakers - a steer towards our two-day fixture on May 28-29, by which time our public grandstand and hospitality facilities will be fully operational."
