I remember reading somewhere that Newmarket trainer Conrad Allen sent out the first AW winner, and I’m also pretty sure that it was at Lingfield.
Five points and a lollipop for Clint! From http://www.flatstats.co.uk;
The first flat race ever run on the all weather was at Lingfield on 30th October 1989. The winning horse was Niklas Angel – a colt trained by Conrad Allen and ridden by Richard Quinn.
Looks like I have a slight change to make to my article. I’m pretty sure I was right about Quixall Crossett in the next paragraph, though.

correctly, imo, they are firstly seeing if it can be viably repaired but if not will consider various other AWT options
arena d.o.r. said “We are considering all the options if the surface needs to be replaced, which at the moment is quite a big if. It could well be repaired, which would be good news. We are carrying out a number of assessments at the moment and I would think we would probably have a good idea in the next fortnight as to the extent of the damage and whether it can be repaired.â€Â
one of the options is the ‘tapeta’ awt surface as used on the godolphin training track in dubai …..
Assuming the course make an insurance claim, then they may have to be careful that the new surface isn’t termed an improvement rather than a repair. My cricket club’s experience of insurance claims was that if they deem work done as an improvement the insurers may worm their way out of paying.
