Saturday's meeting featuring the Howden Long Walk Hurdle has been abandoned.
— Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) December 15, 2022
The planned inspection was brought forward 24 hours after temps dropped to almost -7 overnight. With the same forecast tonight and Friday there is no prospect of the track being raceable by Saturday. pic.twitter.com/LDzfWdymaJ
With a much colder night than forecasted, clerk of the course Chris Stickels was left with no option but to also abandon Saturday’s action, which was due to feature the Grade One Howden Long Walk Hurdle.
“We’ve abandoned for Saturday, we had minus 6.5C overnight,” said Stickels.
“We’re still at minus 6C now (8.30am) and the track is frozen solid under the covers.
“We might get to 1C today but it is supposed to get to minus 5C again tonight and Friday might reach 1.5C before it goes back down to minus 4C on Friday night.
“There’s no prospect of it becoming raceable so there’s little prospect of us delaying the inevitable any further to be honest, so we have let everyone know so they can make plans.”
