Today’s Peter Marsh Chase card at Haydock has been called off due to a frozen track.
Clerk of the course Kirkland Tellwright had called an 8am inspection yesterday, but he was able to make an earlier decision after another cold night in Merseyside.
He said: “We got down to minus 3C overnight, so we were still going backwards. The track is frozen now (Friday) and will still be frozen tomorrow (Saturday).
“We’ve run out of time, we’ve got to the point where there’s no hope so we made a decision.”
Ascot’s Clarence House
Chase card had been cancelled on Thursday due to the cold weather, as has Taunton’s fixture, where course officials saw “no prospect of improvement”, meaning there will be no jumps action today.
Lingfield and Wolverhampton will race on the all weather, with the first-named venue due to host jumps racing tomorrow as the third day of the Winter Million Festival.
Fakenham are also scheduled to race over the jumps tomorrow, with a 3pm inspection called today to evaluate their prospects.
