ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ (ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½) can confirm that three upcoming fixtures scheduled to take place at Chelmsford City Racecourse (CCR) have been transferred.

The fixtures will move to the following venues on the same date:

• Thursday 23 July – Southwell
• Thursday 6 August – Southwell
• Thursday 13 August – Lingfield Park

The race programmes for these three fixtures will largely remain the same except for the following changes to Southwell’s cards:

Thursday 23 July

• The 4yo+ Class 6 1m 5f handicap will now be staged over 1m 4f
• The 3yo Class 6 1m 2f handicap will now be staged over 1m 3f

Thursday 6 August

• The 3yo+ Class 2 1m 2f handicap (Chelmsford City Cup) will now be staged over 1m 3f
• The 4yo+ Class 6 1m 2f handicap will now be staged over 1m 3f

CCR’s fixture on Sunday 2 August will be cancelled and will not be replaced.

CCR does not currently have a licensed operator to be able to hold any fixtures. An appeal from Golden Mile Racing Limited (GMRL) against the decision of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Board on 2 April 2026 to reject GMRL’s application for a licence to operate the racecourse at Chelmsford City was dismissed by the independent Licensing Committee last month. A summary of the Committee’s reasons for that decision can be read , with full written reasons to follow.

The ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½â€™s racing department will continue to work with the National Trainers Federation, trainers, owners and other stakeholders to provide sufficient opportunities for horses within the race programme.
