July 6 was pinpointed as the start of live races at Hastings Racecourse and it should be taken into account that the original plan for action was for the 2020 season to commence on April 26. Due to the unprecedented situation, a change of plans was necessary. Regardless of the delay, the racing hotspot is going to welcome all 25 race dates and make them possible.
