The loss of Tuesday night racing is not hitting Oxford as badly as many predicted.
It was scrapped in January, but management at Cowley are pleased with 2009 with turnover on a par with last year, which included the Tuesday night date.
Their optimism is shared with Oxford bookmaker RD Racing confirming the loss of the midweek date has made little difference to their turnover.
In fact, Oxford had a very good Easter with the Thursday and Saturday meetings very busy.
Stanton Dennis has left trainer Paul Clarke’s kennels, but promising pups Ballymac Francie and Get Away Home join up.
