Unfortunately, the Seating Area at Smeatharpe was deemed Out Of Order on Sunday 2 October.

Some damage to the area was discovered in the week leading up to the race meeting, and athough the replacement sections were ordered, they were not available in time for the Seating Area to be operational on race day.

Every effort is being made to ensure the Seating Area will be open again at the next race meeting on Sunday 23 October, and an update will be provided in the build-up to that event.
