Doncaster meet frozen off

This afternoon’s meeting at Doncaster, featuring the Sky Bet Chase, has been abandoned due to a frozen track.

With overnight temperatures having dipped to -3C, acting clerk of the course Gemma Charrington was forced to concede defeat following a second inspection at 9.30am.

She said: “I’m afraid racing is abandoned.

“It is still sub-zero at 9.30am and, after removing the covers, there are plenty of parts of the track that are still frozen from racing yesterday.”
