Huntingdon called off due to snow This afternoon's meeting at Huntingdon has been abandoned due to snow. The track was due to stage a seven-race card highlighted by the Betfred Peterborough Chase but snow has scuppered their chances of racing. "There's three centimetres of snow on the track that has fallen in the last hour or so and it is forecast to continue all morning with freezing temperatures too," said clerk of the course Jack Pryor. "We had covered the track, but the snow means we can't lift those covers and there is always a risk when you do that further snow would just then settle." Course officials will now discuss the possibility of rescheduling the Peterborough Chase with the British Horseracing Authority, and Pryor added: "We will definitely have those discussions, but I don't think there would be any decisions on that until Monday." Elsewhere, Monday's meeting at Musselburgh has also been abandoned due to a frozen track. Clerk of the course Harriet Graham was due to inspect at 9am on Sunday but was able to make an earlier call after temperatures dropped as low as - 5C. She tweeted: "Racing abandoned, - 5C no prospect of a thaw, temperatures only to rise to 1C today."
