It has been a long time in coming - but Carlisle Racecourse finally reopened its doors to spectators today. The first Flat meeting at the Durdar track since September 2019 coincided with the long-awaited return of racegoers since the Covid-19 shutdown. Carlisle became the first racecourse in England to stage a race in front of spectators this year when the action got under way at 1pm. It saw El Caballo cheered home by a crowd as Karl Burke’s charge romped to victory in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes. That was the first of eight races as a sense of normality returned to the sport, with spectators also back to watch meetings at Redcar, Windsor and Leicester.
