Racing HQ Newmarket is facing a major crisis as trainers fear that a lingering stench could jeopardize their positions.

Trainers who rake in millions annually are being forced to personally clean out their luxurious stables after a local manure recycling company ceased operations.
Trainer's Business at Risk
With no available land to dispose of the waste, one trainer is concerned that this development could force her out of business.
Massive Amounts of Waste Need to be Managed
About 25,000 tonnes of waste from the Newmarket stables and studs must be removed each year.

Fear in the Royal Ascot Stables
Gay Kelleway, whose Queen Alexandra Stables are named after her victory in the prestigious Royal Ascot race, is concerned that her business may not survive without assistance.
Muck Heap Crisis
Kelleway told the Racing Post: "We need muck lorries to shift our muck heap as we've no land to spread it on and I don't know what we're going to do. This could put me out of business potentially."
Top Trainer Struggles to Find a Solution
Renowned trainer Marco Botti, who has earned over £500,000 in prize money this year, is also facing a sticky situation as he searches for an alternative waste removal supplier.
Unforeseen Nightmare for Trainers
Botti expressed his surprise to the Racing Post, saying: "Who could imagine this was going to happen in such a short space of time? We've heard before that he was giving up but it never happened."
