Ludlow racing meet abandoned
Tuesday 7th December 2010, 11:29AM GMT.
Officials at Ludlow have abandoned Thursday’s race meeting without holding their planned inspection.
Clerk of the course Bob Davies initially announced he would check the course at noon today.
But, with conditions worsening, he felt there was little point in delaying the inevitable.
“There’s no point in waiting any longer. We had minus 8c on Sunday night, we had freezing fog all day and the temperatures yesterday only reached minus 5c,” said Davies.
“We’re forecast minus 7c tonight and tomorrow night, so there is no point messing people around.”
Ludlow’s meeting is just one of a number across the country called off.
