Musselburgh in line-up for racecourse award

MUSSELBURGH Racecourse is in the running for a prestigious Racecourse of the Year Award.

The East Lothian track has been nominated for its outstanding achievement across the UK and Irish betting trade.

Musselburgh Racecourse general manager Bill Farnsworth said: “While we are up against some quality entries, Musselburgh punches well above its weight in terms of the quality of the race day experience we provide throughout the flat and jumps seasons.”

The course has already picked up an award for Operational Excellence in the Racecourse Association Showcase Awards.
