Lingfield meeting falls foul of weather • Today's meeting called off after inch of snow fell at venue• Meetings at Thurles, Fontwell and Warwick also offThis afternoon's meeting at Lingfield has been abandoned due to snow – and Saturday's meeting at Fontwell has also been called off.Lingfield's clerk of the course Neil MacKenzie Ross inspected the track at 6.30am but opted to call a further check for 8.30am after an inch of snow fell at the all-weather venue. However, following that inspection, he called off the meeting as the snow has made the course inaccessible.MacKenzie Ross explained: "It's not track-related, it's purely safety-related. The snow has not relented and is coming down thick and fast so as soon as we are clearing it, it's laying again."The reports of the roads nearby are not good either with a few accidents and gridlock already, so we have abandoned on safety grounds."The track is due to race tomorrow but MacKenzie Ross will take stock of the situation later today before deciding whether an inspection will be necessary.He added: "We will take a view on the forecast later in the day. This is more snow than we were forecast and there's a lot of work to do so we will see how it looks later today."Friday's meeting at Thurles has also been cancelled, as have Saturday's meetings at Fontwell and Warwick.Horse racingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
