Scots produce cold comfort
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.Scottish turf has kept frost free and kept jump racing on the road, with yesterday's meeting at Ayr and today's card at Musselburgh (where there is a 7.30am precautionary inspection) supplying the only alternative to the sand tracks.
Many trainers were unhappy about the surface at Ayr, however, and 36 of the scheduled 77 runners were withdrawn.
Yesterday's Plumpton card, today's Nottingham meeting and tomorrow's Leicester card have all been abandoned due to frost and snow and there will be inspections today for tomorrow's Windsor card and Thursday's Towcester fixture.
