July course Weight room and rack for redevelopment
The weight room and head-to-head stands at Newmarket’s July Course will be redeveloped between 2022 and 2023, The Jockey Club announced on Wednesday. The interior layout and facilities of the weighing room will be upgraded as part of an ongoing industry-wide project. However, the traditional thatched roof overlooking the winner’s enclosure will be kept. Both the grandstand facilities and the trackside bar will be upgraded and include a first-floor observation terrace with stunning views of the racecourse. The confrontation grandstand will receive a new roof and the project will also include sustainability improvements to the July School Grounds through solar panels and low energy lighting.
Sophie Able, General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses, said, “The new complex will provide racing professionals and racers alike with the state-of-the-art amenities they need and enhance the customer experience. while maintaining the unique look and feel of The July Course. We are looking forward to work starting in the fall and completing the project before racing returns in June 2023.”
