County Turf and Ultra Soil Solutions in the Winners’ Enclosure at Goodwood!
Glorious Goodwood, home to the famous festival is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful racecourses in the world and Lincolnshire firm County Turf are pleased to have supplied the turf for the stunning winners’ enclosure. Ultra Soil Solutions in Hertfordshire specified the turf – County’s most popular grade, Greenscape – which was then laid in the enclosure by Goodwood’s ground staff ready for the new season. The cultivars used in this turf are taken from the top performing varieties in the STRI profile, not only is it extremely hard wearing, but it will retain its colour throughout the year.
‘When choosing turf from our customers, we work hard to ensure they get the service and quality of product they need. The winners’ enclosure at Goodwood races is the focal point of attention for spectators and television cameras alike. We were asked by Seamus Buckley, the Clerk of the Course to supply a hard wearing, quality turf that would withstand both the heavy use and scrutiny of the horse racing world. In choosing County Turf in big roll format, we fulfilled the expectation of all concerned. A top quality turf, backed up by a first class service’.
Andy Church, Director Ultra Solutions Ltd
