Dunstall racing doors open again
Horses returned to the parade ring and track at Wolverhampton’s Dunstall Park yesterday evening – for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic caused racing to be cancelled.
Follow Suit was the first winner back in the city, but there were no fans to cheer 14/1 Irish raider over the line, with meetings taking place behind closed doors for the forseeable future.
Testing procedures were in place to monitor those who were allowed into the meeting – including jockeys, while social distancing was also in effect and signs in place to remind people to wear masks.
It was the start of a busy week for the racecourse, with an afternoon meeting following today – as well as further races taking place tomorrow.
