| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Fakenham National Hunt Racecourse in Norfolk, England, and head groundsman Martin Griffiths. States that "the north Norfolk-based racecourse draws visitors to its 10 race days per season from as far away as London." Discusses irrigation, stating that "the course is set on a sandy loam and is free draining." Details maintenance practices used at the course, stating that "after the last race day in May, Martin sets to work with his divot mix before rolling the course. All trails and jumps are taken down and a contractor comes in to spray the course to control weeds if required...The majority of the summer work is focused on stripping out and repairing the jumps, painting and pressure washing the rails." |
