Frost halts racing at Ludlow

Ludlow have abandoned this afternoon’s meeting due to frost.

Clerk of the course Bob Davies had planned to hold an 8am inspection but a bitterly cold night forced his hand earlier in the morning.

He said: “We have abandoned. It went down to minus 10 and we have got frost an inch and a half into the ground.

“It’s still below freezing now and although it looks like it’s going to be a bright day, there’s no chance of the frost coming out of the ground.”
