:o As of 1 April 2026, Chelmsford City Racecourse has been forced to cancel all immediate fixtures after the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) refused to grant a new operating license. The decision follows the previous license holder, Great Leighs Estates Limited, being placed into administration.

Real shame these markets are light but liquidity decent especially on a Friday night.
I do ok at this meeting Trading i hope they find someone to take over

Yeah, it was mentioned on today's horse racing thread.

I made my biggest ever loss on that track, so in a sort of schadenfreude moment, I sort of wish that it would get erased. But obviously I don't really mean that.

My biggest ever loss was at Golden Gate Fields (thanks TPD) ;) and that track is now defunct. :twisted:

Apparently there is new management 'Golden Mile Racing' but the BHA have refused their application for a licence.

New management in name only really, same members on it.

Old company: https://find-and-update.company-informa ... 2/officers
New company: https://find-and-update.company-informa ... 1/officers

BHA probably not wanting more bad publicity for racing if the same people bankrupt the racecourse 3 times in a row.
