Oxford have put back the closing deadline for the New Years Day opens by 24 hours to Midday on Thursday.

Racing Manager Simon Pearson said: “There was an error in the Calendar which said that the races were ‘invitations’. That has caused some confusion and has messed up the entries. There is a huge selection of races over all distances and including maidens, bitches, puppy and veteran races.”

Each race carries a £500 winner’s prize.
