The Boxing Day meeting at Ayr has been
abandoned due to frost and snow
following an inspection on Sunday.
Joint clerk of the course Mark Kershaw
revealed: "There is a severe frost and
the snow alone is enough to call off
the card. We have no chance of racing.
"There was no point in prolonging the
agony. We had no alternative. That's
the winter for you."
Kempton's King George meeting on Boxing
Day is also under threat with freezing
temperatures forecast. There will be an
inspection on Tuesday at 6.30am.
