Thanks for all the lovely messages following particular tweet last night which got lots of engagement! Terrific to feature as small part on
@itvracing
yesterday & thank you to
@itvracing
for showcasing smaller Racecourses. We look forward to welcoming racegoers back on 21st May.
We are very saddened to hear the news of the passing of the talented photographer, Les Hurley. We all have fond memories of him working here at Worcester Racecourse over the years. RIP Les.
We’ll be celebrating the life of Liam Treadwell throughout racing this Wednesday and the Going is currently GOOD, watering to maintain. His Grand National winner Mon Mome will also be parading.
Having thought we’d turned a corner the River Severn burst its banks AGAIN overnight and this is the current view of the Parade Ring & Finishing Straight, and still rising. It might slow us but it won’t stop us. We’ll be racing again in April and beyond 💪 ☔️
Many thanks to the friends and family of Liam Treadwell for supporting today's race meeting in his memory.
Don't forget, you can support both
@IJF_official
and
@HeadwayUK
via the online auction👇

Hi Abbeigh, very sorry to see this and hope you are feeling much better after watching the Derby at home. What a win! Please send us a message as we would hate to let your anxiety win and would love to have you at a future meeting on us.
Some sadness here at Worcester Racecourse today in seeing our old weighing room being demolished. Although, we are very much looking forward to the development of our new weighing room.
Stay tuned for more updates...😁

The track is getting in shape ahead of racing starting in three weeks time and was over seeded yesterday as part of our routine turf husbandry schedule at the start of the season 🐎
30f (6,0000+) metres of running rail reset and straightened by 21 men in three days last week; never been done in one go before. It's fair to say we're getting ready for racing!
