Racing: Snow go at Carlisle

TOMORROW'S MEETING at Carlisle has been abandoned. Conditions at the track have deteriorated over the past few days and the clerk of the course, Johnny Fenwicke-Clennell, yesterday said: "There is half an inch of snow on the course and it wasn't raceable before the snow came."

Today's card at Musselburgh is also under threat and is subject to a 7.30am inspection. A course spokesman said: "The forecasters say that temperatures could get down to -2 overnight - then showers are forecast which should break any frost."
