    Now up for sale.

    Sadly wouldn’t be able to afford the interest payments.

    ....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.

    Both the enclosures and track look to be in remarkably good condition. That NH Racing could resume there is probably wishful thinking but wouldn’t that be nice. Those concrete rails would have to go mind

    Assuming there aren’t any easements and covenants preventing it, if the sale includes the infield I fear it could eventually end up as a housing estate, despite the ostensibly fine words of the vendor

    We should have a TRF whip round and buy it. ;-)
