Monday's Taunton meet off
Monday's meeting at Taunton has become the latest victim of the cold weather after track officials were forced to abandon the meeting earlier than the scheduled 9am inspection.
The Somerset venue was hit with freezing temperatures again overnight and with no prospect of significant improvement, clerk of the course Michael Trickey decided to draw stumps early.
"It's bad news I'm afraid. We had minus five and a half degrees overnight and the forecast is for plus one at best today, so we have no chance," said Trickey.
"We had covers down on the take-offs and landings and there was even frost underneath those."
