THORPE LODGE, Nottinghamshire. (1976) LH
Location: 4m SW of Newark-on-Trent, nr A46. 5m from A1. NG23 5PY. view map
Area: Midlands
Meeting(s): Midlands Area Club - Sunday, 29 January 2012; South Notts - Easter Monday, 09 April 2012
Course Summary: Flat almost square course providing a fair test. Course lengthened by 125 yards in 2007, but reverted to previous configuration, in middle of back straight rather than the end, for the 2011 season. All fences firm and consistent. An ideal course for early season racing. Car parking good, one entrance/exit, but traffic flows well and well signposted from A46. Also has its own helicopter landing pad! Viewing quite good from slope overlooking finishing straight. Good betting market even on Bank Holiday.
Top Riders: S. Morris* 6, R. Armson 4, J. Docker 4, Miss Gemma Hutchinson 4
