Racing: Sand hit by snow
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.SOUTHWELL yesterday became the first all-weather meeting to be abandoned this season when a blizzard left no option but to call the meeting off. 'With driving horizontal snow, it would have been unfair to ask horses and jockeys to jump hurdles,' the clerk of the course said. 'The track was perfectly raceable.'
Warwick was also lost yesterday and today's programme at Catterick is the 61st to be wiped out this season. Prospects for tomorrow's cards at Towcester and Haydock are poor with snow on both courses.
