“It’s up to each individual sport to decide exactly when to resume competition they know their sports best,” Dowden continued. There is no programme of testing for League One at present.Ī packed schedule of horse racing begins at Newcastle on Monday and builds quickly to Newmarket’s 2,000 Guineas classic on Saturday.
