CHESTER Racecourse has opened the starting gate on near-£1m plans to welcome back race-goers safely in time for its May fixtures. While the nation is still under Covid lockdown, it is hoped lockdown measures will be eased over the coming months as millions of people get vaccinations against the virus. And one of the ways which Chester Race Company is helping the nation reach that goal is by becoming the first large-scale Covid-19 mass vaccination site in the borough this week, administering thousands of vaccines in key priority groups per week, seven days a week. Now the racecourse, the oldest operating one in the world, is planning to become the first in the UK to welcome back racegoers in time for the Boodles May Festival from May 5-7.
