Hereford call Wednesday inspection

Course currently unraceable following rain.

Hereford will have to pass an 8am inspection on raceday if Wednesday’s meeting is to go ahead.

With the scheduled card at Wetherby already called off, Hereford is due to stage the only jumps action in Britain.

However, the course is reported to be unraceable at present, with wintry showers also a possibility before racing.

The track tweeted: “The going is heavy but currently unraceable in places with standing water following 9mm rain yesterday. Forecast for chance of wintry showers today and overnight. Inspection 8am tomorrow.”

Tuesday’s meeting at Punchestown is subject to a second inspection as there is snow on the course.

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board tweeted: “Due to a light covering of snow on the track at the moment, a second inspection will take place at 10am.”
