Well there is some racing today at Southwell which is good. A few decent priced handicap runners with a squeak at fancy prices are available.
Elsewhere, the 2 other "all weather" meetings have been called off due to the snow. Not because the racetrack is unridable, but because the ambulance service cannot attend. Huntingdon and Ludlow over the fences have been called off aswell.
