Racing: Frost remains a threat
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.Officials at Huntingdon are hoping for a milder than expected night for today's meeting to pass a 7.30am inspection but prospects do not look too bright as the clerk of the course, Michael Prosser, expects snow and some very cold temperatures overnight.
"The forecast is fairly poor," he said last night."It could go down to minus three degrees. However, the forecast last night was wrong so there's always hope." Today's other jump meeting at Hexham was abandoned yesterday, but the cold snap is unlikely to cause any problems at today's all-weather fixture at Lingfield.
Sedgefield was abandoned yesterday due to frost as was today's Irish fixture at Navan, while officials at Thurles will hold an inspection at 2pm today for tomorrow's meeting.
Prospects for Warwick and Plumpton tomorrow look a little brighter as both courses escaped the frost yesterday.
