Fakenham off

Thanks Ashleigh, but for a lot of the people who frequent this forum, i think you could have just put Fak off.

Windy maybe. Frozen? No.

"In some areas there was as much as four inches of frost in the ground and I don't have the confidence that will come out in time tomorrow morning. I always said to have a chance we'd have needed to see considerable improvement by today and the ground would have had to be fully raceable but that just hasn't happened. Around 70 per cent of the ground is still not raceable."

So he's saying it had to be fully raceable today for it to go ahead? Why not inspect again tomorrow when it gets up to 10 degrees?

and on the assumption that frost in the ground renders it impossible to put a stick/ruler/measuring rod into the ground, how does he know it is 4" of frost?

Too tacky for Ambulance tyres.

Probably bottled it after the last meeting fiasco. They took the easy option. Surely there must be a massive chance that all frost will have gone by tomorrow afternoon.

expected temperature at the track today is 13 degrees. 

possibly a new record high for a course reporting itself to be frozen ?

Spot on Pompey. Daren't get the decision wrong and chose the 'safe option'. He clearly didn't trust the weather forecast for Sunday yet after issues with immediate previous meetings must have been desperate to race. To not postpone the inspection is unfathomable and needs explaining.
