Big Kempton card goes ahead, but Warwick off

Kempton Park’s Lanzarote Hurdle card will go ahead as planned this afternoon – but Warwick’s Classic Chase meeting has ultimately failed to beat the weather.
Despite being passed fit for racing on Friday after managing to navigate a freezing week, the threat of sub-zero temperatures overnight had led to precautionary 8.00am raceday checks being called at both tracks.
Warwick said in a post on X: “Whilst the majority of the track is raceable, the back straight remains frozen in areas. The contingency plan we put in place yesterday, using the outer hurdle line, has frozen under the sheets and is unraceable.
“With temperatures only forecast to rise above freezing by 10am, and highs of only 2C, there will not be sufficient improvement ahead of racing.”
