Let everyone in then call it off,could have checked beforehand.
It is extraordinary how little they check these things well before racing to avoid such embarrassing scenes.
Not looking good and they have a Full House of racegoers.
Hopefully they just run the first race , Finding Freedom wins , then they can call the rest off 
What a Joke let everyone travel and pay then call it off.
Stewards enquiry

fish n chip van doing all ewe can eat for £3.
Dont worry. Dido Harding coming along to sort it all out
Who ever is in charge at the track should be sacked. They must have known the issues with the car track long before this. What actions did they take to solve the issues before hand?

Fakenham getting into a trend of doing late abandonments
COC says they would be unable to get ambulance to injured jockey within the 1 minute agreement and guidelines.
The guys is on RTV now. He says they walked the course three times this morning and saw no issue. Only when the medical team turned up did they say they wouldn't be able to guarantee the sub one-minute response time.
thankfully its not a course in the middle of nowhere that takes hours to get to or you would be cross .....erm .
Pipe and Evan Williams, among others...
All sent their horses on 500 mile plus round trips
I presume owners still have to pay, no compensation from track?

Ambulance probably has slicks on ! These amateurs who run racing score yet another own goal.

John Joseph Hanlons come from Irealnd
with the rds/approaches around fakenham on racedays i,d imagine access on the actual course is least of ambulances problems
Thommo probably on duty there, so every cloud eh?
Clerk of the Course probably thought after, I should have checked that out earlier.Should be put out to grass himself and they should get someone capable of doing the job properly.
Track official saying that the medical team 'were concerned the ambulance would not be able to reach a stricken jockey with 1 minute - which is the limit allowed'.
Well, let's just think about that for a moment. Suppose it took 1 minute and 10 seconds to get to an injured jockey? Would that make any difference?
Why do we need limits on things like this anyway? Suppose racing had gone ahead and a jockey had taken a bad fall. Would the ambulance have not gone to them because the medical officer felt they could not get there inside 1 minute? Of course not. In the same vein, would an ambulance not go to a RTA if it couldn't reach there in a certain time? Again, no.
If we carry on like this we will have to stop everything ever taking place in the UK. What the busybody officials don't ever weight up nowadays is the CHANCES of something happening.
Yes, a jockey might take a fall but then he has to need to ambulance before the time limit 'matters'. The majority of jockey falls do not require an ambulance.
But way too much today is based on the very worst case scenario. Risk will NEVER be eliminated from human life, but it seems we are basing our reactions to everything as if it can be.
I have said it before and I repeat it. The UK is now a pathethic, axnst-ridden, frivolous, and star struck nation.

the worst in the country & that is a strong field
1000,s of jocks out hunting,jumping 6 foot stone walls over xmas/ny, without a clue how long it would take an ambulance to get there, literally 10,s of 1000,s of workers go to work everyday to do far more dangerous jobs with no idea how long an ambulance will take to get there, but they cant say we,re the only workers in world who are followerd by an ambulance, but maybe they should be able to say that

Racing Post Raceday Live still awaiting the 1230 result !
But it says in this rule book that we have to reach a fence in under a minute and we can't so lets just go home early.
It's completely insane that this has happened, such incompetence.
Almost time for another round of everyone’s favourite game…
