Market Rasen looking bleak Officials at Market Rasen will stage a 2pm inspection on Thursday to assess the prospects of racing on Boxing Day. With four inches of snow currently lying on the track, and the possibility of more overnight, clerk the course Nick Patton is not optimistic. "We're still covered with snow and temperatures at the moment are about half a degree below freezing," said Patton on Wednesday. "The forecast for tonight is for a band of either rain, sleet or snow so we'll just see how things are looking tomorrow. "At the moment, though, things are looking bleak."
