Heavy rain and strong winds decimate jump action in Britain

HEAVY rain has decimated the fixture list with several tracks already washed out and some of the weekend action also under threat.

Yesterday’s meeting at Folkestone fell to a combination of waterlogging and strong winds while today’s action at Newbury and Thursday’s Taunton card have already been lost.

And Ludlow, which hopes to stage Thursday’s only other jump programme in Britain, is in doubt with an inspection called for 8am today.
