The Jockey Club holds an option granted in 2018 that would allow Redrow to buy and develop Kempton racecourse for housing, potentially ending racing at the profitable all‑weather venue.

Supporters warn the sale would sacrifice a historic and commercially important racing asset. » More on theguardian.com
