Newcastle OFF!


Saturday's fixture at Newcastle has been abandoned due to false ground.

Officials at Gosforth Park were left with no option but to call off their first Flat meeting of the season following an early-morning inspection.

Clerk of the course James Armstrong said: "We've been struggling for the last week and it's not improving at all. In the last 20 days we've had just short of four inches of rain, on top of the unseasonably cold temperatures."
