Horseracing: Racing to make tentative return in Germany


BERLIN (Reuters) - Horse racing resumes in Germany on Thursday two months after a ban due to the coronavirus pandemic, with a limited number of races in front of empty stands in Hanover and strict health conditions, Germany's racing organisation said.

The handful of races on Thursday are the first for Deutscher Galopp since March and an easing of lockdown restrictions in the past days in Germany with numbers of coronavirus infections dropping. More races are scheduled for Friday in Cologne.
