Haydock goes ahead
This afternoon’s meeting at Haydock goes ahead as planned after a precautionary inspection planned for 8am was brought forward.
Officials had been optimistic about staging the seven-race card, which features the Sodexho Prestige Tommy Whittle Chase, as the course had been protected by frost covers.
And after a reasonable night, clerk of the course Kirkland Tellwright was able to give proceedings an early go-ahead.
He said: “It’s good news as racing goes ahead.
“It barely froze here last night and the ground is good to soft.”
