HISTORY OF RACING PUT UNDER SPOTLIGHT THANKS TO £14.3M HERITAGE CENTRE

By Abby Rugg

RACING’S past may soon be re-lived thanks to the creation of a national heritage centre.

The building of Home of Horseracing National Heritage Centre – which will cost £14.3 million – was approved by members of the Forest Heath District Council on Thursday.

Subject to the final piece of funding, the creation in Newmarket’s High Street has been described as a tourist destination for UK and International visitors.

It is estimated 40,000 to 50,000 visitors could flock to the centre every year, bringing in £1.8m a year to the town.

The centre, which could open in 2015, will include new galleries in the Palace House stables and Trainer’s House as well as a temporary exhibition gallery, a larger library and educational facilities.

Horses would be allowed to be shown for the first time because the site’s Rothschild Yard will be restored as a flagship home for the Retraining of Racehorses charity.

It certainly is a great scheme for horse racing. I think it will give the sport a boost and attract people of all ages, which may even inspire a generation.

It isn’t every day you hear of these schemes go on for racing, and that it why I have decided to write about it for my weekly blog.

More encouragement needs to be given to projects like this, not just for racing but for all sports.

Sport is important and I think enthusiasm towards it begins at local clubs, events and centres like this.

Scientists will want to buy this peptide for a number of reasons. viagra professional generic Some people say check out now tadalafil in uk also that it is potent in increasing the male and female vitality. Shopping for medicine on the internet takes some cialis prices planning ahead. Since the andropause stage could viagra cost india be very stressful for anyone going through it.

So I think it is a job well done and I am pleased the council approved it. 
Not only will Newmarket benefit from the tourist destination, but racing may also increase in popularity and appreciation.
