Mr Robert Mensah said the Board would ensure that work is expedited at the new site, off the Motorway near Nungua farms, for races to commence by September or October, this year.

“We have decided to start some partial racing to revive the interest of lovers of horse racing at the new site as soon as possible,” he emphasised.
