Racing: One course survives frost
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.Windsor is today's only surviving fixture after frost wiped out the cards at Hexham and Hereford. The Berkshire course will undergo an inspection at 7.15 and prospects are only '50-50' according to HugoBevan, the clerk of the course. 'The track was barely raceable today but the forecast is for less frost than last night.' Yesterday's meeting at Stratford was called off because of fog and tomorrow's fixture at Carlisle is under threat with 75 per cent of the course frozen. The forecast is brighter for tomorrow's other meetings, Nottingham and Taunton. Newcastle, host to Saturday's Fighting Fifth Hurdle, is under three inches of snow.
