However, because of doubts over how many fixtures will be granted by the British Horseracing Board, Newbury has yet to decide when the £4.5 million project will be started.
Newbury, one of Britain's most prominent racecourses, has announced plans for a 15-furlong all-weather (dirt) course with five and six-furlong straight races and a chute for contests over seven furlongs and a mile.It is thought the track would be ideal for prep races for the Breeders' Cup and Dubai World Cup meetings.
