Wet weather forces cancellation of two Friday cards and Worcester on Saturday with Leicester set to follow
It comes to something when we’re getting wet-weather abandonments in the middle of June but that’s where we are after a week in which it felt like most of the country had basically fallen into the sea. Friday’s cards at Newton Abbot and Chepstow have both been called off, while Saturday’s meeting at Worcester has also been lost.
There must also be some doubt about Leicester’s card on Saturday too, as the going description is “heavy, waterlogged in places”. This, to me, has an unpromising sound. An inspection is planned for 2pm on Friday afternoon.
