BetVictor Jumps Season Finale: Newbury Racecourse Update

Newbury Racecourse would like to extend its thanks to all those who attended the BetVictor Jumps Season Finale on Saturday and for their patience and understanding following the serious medical incident which occurred ahead of the day’s second race.

The incident – which involved a member of the Racecourse’s medical team – required the supply of specialist critical care equipment in addition to that already available on-site.

The individual affected by the incident was initially treated by the Racecourse’s medical team before further medical support arrived on-site to continue treatment and care.

The Racecourse endeavoured to minimise the delay to the day’s racing programme while ensuring the individual affected received the best possible care.

Once it was deemed safe – and in line with BHA regulations – racing resumed with races run in a condensed time period to ensure the full card was able to be completed.

As of Sunday, the individual affected by the incident was conscious and communicating and the Racecourse would like to extend its best wishes for a continued recovery.
