Taunton off as freeze takes toll
Another blank day in jumps calendar.
Taunton’s meeting was abandoned after an early-morning inspection on Tuesday – leaving a second successive blank day in the British jump racing calendar. As the freeze takes hold, Taunton’s card was called off before 7am. A Tweet on Taunton’s official account read: “Racing today has been abandoned. Temps overnight down to – 3C. Course frozen with no prospect/forecast of temps rising above 0C until around 1pm with a high of +1C” Market Rasen’s meeting was abandoned after an inspection the previous afternoon – but there will be a jumpers’ bumper card at Kempton on Tuesday, after that course passed a morning inspection called because of forecast overnight snow. Southwell’s all-weather evening Flat fixture is also set to go ahead. Doncaster’s meeting on Thursday will, however, not take place after the course failed inspection on Tuesday morning – with snow on the track.Follow us on Twitter racing365dotcom and like our Facebook page.
