Green light for Uttoxeter

This afternoon’s meeting at Uttoxeter goes ahead after passing an 8.30am inspection.

Course temperatures dipped to minus 3C overnight but clerk of the course Charlie Moore is delighted to report the fleece that was laid on the track has done its job.

“It’s good news and racing goes ahead. The sun is out and the forecasters assure me temperatures will rise to plus 3C,” said Moore.

“The fleece we had down has done a fantastic job. Where we didn’t have any fleece down the course is quite crispy and you wouldn’t have been happy to have racing on, but under the fleece, it’s top dollar.”
