No racing in U.K. today

The winter continues to hamper racing in Britain and even the all-weather tracks have problems because of snow (e.g. Wolverhampton yesterday). Today´s Kempton meeting has been abandoned (snow on the track) while the N.H. meetings at Fontwell and Musselburgh have been abandoned because of frost. Fortunately the situation is not so bad in Ireland and the big Punchestown fixture goes ahead as planned (although the going will be heavy).
