REVISED STALLS NUMBERING TO TAKE EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY 30TH MARCH 2011 / 28 Mar 11
Pre-2014 Releases
From Wednesday, 30th March 2011, starting stalls at racecourses that have been classified as right-handed tracks will be numbered in ascending order from right to left if you look through the stalls from behind. Previously, starting stalls at all tracks were numbered from left to right from behind the stalls.
The change in practice will be effective for all races, including those run on a straight course, at these racecourses. The Clerk of the Course at each of these courses will continue to adopt their current practices in where they position the starting stalls on the track for races run over a straight course. Key publications which make available draw statistics have been consulted and advise that they will have amended their existing statistics so as they will maintain their accuracy.
Consultation has also taken place with the Racecourse Association, National Trainers Federation and Professional Jockeys Association, who have all expressed their support for this change in the numbering of the starting stalls.
The courses affected by this change are:
Ascot – first meeting Wednesday 27th April Beverley – first meeting Wednesday 6th April Carlisle – first meeting Monday 23rd May Folkestone – first meeting Monday 4th April Goodwood – first meeting Saturday 30th April Hamilton – first meeting Sunday 1st May Kempton – first meeting Saturday 2nd April Leicester – first meeting Thursday 31st March Musselburgh – first meeting Friday 1st April Newmarket Rowley Mile and July Courses – first meeting Wednesday 13th April (Rowley Mile) Ripon – first meeting Thursday 7th April Salisbury – first meeting Sunday 1st May Sandown – first meeting Saturday 23rd April Windsor– first meeting Monday 4th April
