Optimism in Ayr forecast
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.The weather refuses to loosen its grip on racing and today's cards at Huntingdon and Wincanton are the latest to fall.
Prospects are equally poor for tomorrow on turf with Bangor already abandoned and Newbury likely to follow suit after an 8am inspection today. If, or when, Saturday's meeting at the Berkshire track is called off, the card, including the Tote Gold Trophy, will be lost as it has been decided that it is impractical to transfer to another day.
Of Saturday's other cards, Uttoxeter's hopes are dismal, but at Catterick prospects are assessed at 50-50. The forecast also encourages some optimism that Ayr's fixture may go ahead.
