Lingfield called off
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 meeting at Lingfield has been called off after falling victim to the Arctic conditions that have hit the south of England this week.
The assistant clerk of the course, Fergus Cameron, said yesterday: "After holding two inspections the stewards have decided to abandon the meeting.
"There is still snow on the course and, although there was a slight thaw this morning, the temperature has dropped this afternoon."
Lingfield is the fourth National Hunt meeting to be lost this season.
n The following horses are doubly engaged today: Easthorpe (Haydock 1.00, first preference) (Cheltenham 1.20, second preference); Monsieur Le Cure (Haydock 2.00) (Cheltenham 2.35); Black Humour (Doncaster 1.45) (Haydock 2.00). Horses will appear at their second preference only if the first preference meeting is abandoned.
