Southwell called off

This afternoon's all-weather meeting at Southwell has been abandoned due to snow.

An inspection was called for 10am earlier this morning when snow began to fall in the area.

While the track is currently raceable the surrounding areas have been deemed unsafe.

Clerk of the course Roderick Duncan said: "We've had to abandon.

"The track is raceable but everywhere else is covered in deep snow.

"The roads are treacherous and people are struggling to get to the track so it is a decision on safety ground."
