Racing will resume in Scotland at Ayr on Monday after the Scottish government approved the resumption of professional sport without crowds.

The sport has been suspended in Scotland since 17 March but restarted in England on 1 June.

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) had allocated 24 meetings to Scottish courses across June, July and August pending approval.

Ayr on 22 June is the first, followed by two at Hamilton on 24 and 28 June.

Musselburgh's first races since February are scheduled for 30 June and 1 July, with action returning to Perth on 21 July.

Scottish Racing manager Delly Innes described the return of events as "an important first step on the road to recovery" after an "immensely challenging time" for the country's five racecourses.

She said: "We are raring to go with an exciting programme of fixtures in the months ahead which will help support the wider Scottish and British racing industry, and provide entertainment to viewers across the country."
