Exeter and Hereford Inspections


The meeting at Exeter on Sunday is subject to a precautionary 8am inspection on raceday due to the threat of frost.

The track is perfectly raceable today but sub-zero temperatures are forecast for the next two nights.

"We had no frost last night and we had rain rather than snow. We've called an 8am precautionary inspection to keep everyone ahead of the game," said clerk of the course Barry Johnson.

"It could be minus 4C tonight and Saturday night but the daytime temperatures give us a chance. It depends how quick the temperature rises."


Sunday's meeting at Hereford is also subject to a further inspection at 11.30am on Saturday.
