No racing at Southwell until new year because of damage as floodwaters pour through buildings All fixtures, with the exception of a National Hunt meeting on Dec 4, have been transferred to other ARC-owned all-weather tracks, Lingfield and Wolverhampton. Resembling Laytown at high tide, the Nottinghamshire course sits on the flood plain of the Trent and suffered a similar situation five years ago when the river again burst its banks. During the latest deluge, there was up to nine inches of water on the concourse and across the track and though levels on Tuesday had dropped from that peak there was still water sloshing around in some buildings. Kate Hills, head of communication at ARC, said: "Everything is being relocated for December and we hope Southwell can start again early in the new year. It has come at a bad time because it's the height of the all-weather season but we've got to dry the place out. It's all systems go to get the water out and see what the damage is. She added: "We will have a double header at Wolverhampton on Dec 15 which was scheduled an evening fixture that day anyway. It will now start at midday, there will be 14 races and racegoers will only be charged for one meeting.
