Leicester, Sedgefield and Deauville -all off

More bad weather news and today´s N.H. meetings at Leicester and Sedgefield have been abandoned, as well as the Deauville fibresand fixture (for the third time running! this time because of snow). The frosty weather continues in Britain and now even in Ireland as well, putting Thurles on Thursday in doubt. Fontwell on Wednesday looks most unlikely to go ahead, and even Musselburgh - who were optimistic yesterday - now report heavy frost. Kelso´s Friday fixture now seems likely to be the next jumps meeting in the UK to get the green light, while at Warwick they are hopeful that their big Saturday meeting will go ahead.
