High winds force Musselburgh to abandon Musselburgh officials had no alternative but to abandon their meeting due to the high winds that have hit the track. Although the first race went ahead as scheduled, the intense gales have provoked cause for concern. A deputation of track officials, jockeys, including Paul Hanagan, and trainers are assessing conditions. The first race was won by 100-30 chance Just Lille - although Adrian Nicholls, who rode Fremen in the contest described the conditions as "horrendous". After a 20 minute inspection proved inconclusive - the stewards decided to wait until 3:20pm to look again as the winds were in excess of 50mph at the course.
