The new fence was then relocated 50 yards further up the hill


feels they make less impact on the course in wet winter conditions. “We might be looking for a new mower in the next couple of years and, unless there is anything else that comes onto the market, I would certainly use Trimax again.” The Stealths are also used to


cut adjacent fields in preparation for the Cumberland Show which is held on the racecourse each summer, but Thomas admits that a rougher cut mower might be better for this task, so that is also under consideration. As part of Jockey Club


Racecourses, Carlisle has access to tractors and machinery from John Deere, including a new ride-on purchased this year to cut lawns and public areas. A John Deere 5085R is also soon to join the fleet and, with a creeper transmission suited to the Terraspike, will take


pressure off the existing tractors and add flexibility. “The oldest tractor in the fleet is a 57 plate, and we use local dealer Johnsons to do all the servicing as none of us are mechanics,” Thomas comments. “One tractor is covered by John Deere’s Powerguard service plan, so some costs are included, and the 5085R will be supplied on a lease basis with an agreement that covers all of the servicing.” With an impressive array of


improvements in recent years - yet another upgrade was to the pre-parade ring which has been resurfaced with rubberised tarmac - Thomas and his team can look forward to maintaining the developing track to the highest standards over the coming seasons.
