Gaming and Leisure company Phumelela has confirmed that the Arlington Race Course is for sale.
Phumelela says in its annual report that the extent of the funding required at Fairview for all-weather racing surface had necessitated the decision to close and sell Arlington.
As a result of this, it said a decision had been taken to install an all-weather racing surface at Fairview and upgrade the facilities so that the same number of race meetings can be staged in Port Elizabeth as before.
Phumelela says the company said construction of the all-weather track is expected to be completed by the end of this month, adding that Arlington will not close before construction and the alterations at Fairview have been completed.
