But just seen on Facebook there is a pitch inspection at Exeter this afternoon anyone confirm if true or not?
I hope it's on for the poor buggers that will be watching knitting channel in the hotel if it's called off.
They've cancelled the racing at exeter after an inspection today as well so doesn't look good https://www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/exeter/events-tickets/afternoon-racing-january/
Seems sensible to inspect this afternoon before they set off if the team are going down today. I just really hope that if they are going to call it off, they do so well before 6pm today so that we can change our train tickets without fees.
Thank you! Seriously though, if it's unfit when they inspect mid-afternoon, it's highly unlikely to be any better after another night of freezing temperatures.
But we won’t know the rearranged date before 6pm so it’s a loss? a full day tomorrow to warm up so surprised if they make a call so soon
Cross country saying have until midnight to move advance tickets BUT we won’t know any rearranged date today. Still feels too early to call as will be 5-6c tomorrow
A racecourse has a mile of track. Hopefully some sheeting, common sense and a day of sun will help. Biggest gripe is loss of money if everything not refundable (Hotel and train)
Can't they put a call out to the local streakers association and get them to roll around on the pitch, warming it up?
