Kempton inspect
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Today's meetings at Ayr and Sedgefield have been called off due to frost and snow and Kempton's card has been put under threat by a worsening weather forecast.
"We have had bit of rain but the going is still soft - the only thing that has changed is the forecast," Michael Webster, the clerk of the course, said.
"In view of forecast temperatures of minus six degrees Celcius, there will be a precautionary inspection at 6.30am.
"The inspection is timed so that the result can go out on the first racing bulletin on Radio 5 Live at 6.55."
Hereford's meeting is also subject to a precautionary inspection at 7.30am because the forecast is for frost.
Edinburgh's card tomorrow is also in doubt. "The course has frost and snow and an inspection will be held at 9am on Boxing Day," the course's manager, Mark Kershaw, said.
