Race Meeting Off

[charliesteve]

Has Beverley race meeting due for Monday been called off because of hot weather or have I been dreaming.

Yes Barry, but quite reasonably a question was asked on a question and answer site.
Should we close AB because Google exists?

I heard there were at least 5 meetings called off next week due to the extreme hot weather. And quite rightly, too.

Five race meetings on Monday and Tuesday have been cancelled because of the forecasted extreme heat.

Monday's meets at Beverley and Windsor have been cancelled, as have Tuesday's fixtures at Chelmsford City, Southwell and Wolverhampton.

has this ever happened before?

[davebro]

I would guess it might be a question of acclimatization - our horses aren't used to the occasional hot spells but, yes, evenings might be feasible. I don't think they would have cancelled unless it was going to be a serious problem.

[Hopkirk]

You don't think they actually care about the horses do you?

[charliesteve]

I think they do care but I have noticed that the owners and trainers get champagne but the horse a bucket of water

[johnny.5]

it was an evening meeting but the horses would have had to travel during the day in a very hot horse box

It's toast apparently.
