This afternoon’s meeting at Kelso has been given the green light after passing a 7.30am inspection.
After plenty of rain in the area during the week, the meeting had been placed in some doubt.
However, a dry night was enjoyed by the Borders track and racing will go ahead, albeit on very testing ground.
“It’s good news, we’ve had a dry night,” said clerk of the course Anthea Morshead.
“We’ve got a nice frosty morning here at the minute and racing goes ahead.
“It’s dry and bright at the moment but the forecast is for isolated showers.
“The going is heavy.”
