CHELTENHAM Racecourse has reiterated its commitment to providing a “safe and enjoyable experience for all” after footage emerged on social media of a fight at the track on Tuesday. A group of men were videoed pushing and shoving before punches started to be thrown, with one man in particular looking dazed after suffering from a very heavy blow.

The disturbance was soon brought under control and it has been confirmed that no arrests were made.

A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said: “Our focus is always on providing safe and enjoyable experiences for all our racegoers and we operate a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of antisocial behaviour.

“There was an isolated incident yesterday involving a small number of racegoers which was dealt with quickly by our security team on site. Police based at the racecourse attended but no arrests were made.

“Millions of people enjoy a day at the races every year while behaving perfectly safely and responsibly.”
